Scientists have proven: losing weight helps defeat type 2 diabetes

Losing significant weight can not only help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels, but also allow them to reduce or completely abandon their blood pressure medications, according to scientists from the universities of Glasgow and Newcastle, who conducted a large-scale study of the impact of diet on the health of patients with metabolic disorders.

The program, developed by British experts, involved a 12-week low-calorie balanced diet. From the moment it began, participants completely stopped taking blood pressure and diabetes medications, and the medication was only reintroduced in the event of an increase in sugar or blood pressure.

Losing over 15 kg was a key factor in improving well-being. In 8 out of 10 participants, type 2 diabetes disappeared without the need for medication after completing the program, and this effect was maintained for at least two years.

The study involved 143 volunteers. Scientists recorded that blood pressure readings steadily decreased as body weight decreased and remained at a lower level even a year or two after completing the program.

The results confirm that weight management is one of the most effective ways to combat type 2 diabetes and hypertension. This approach can reduce the need for medication and significantly improve patients' quality of life.
