TYPE 2 diabetes is a lifelong and sometimes deadly condition.

But for many, it can be reversed, even if not cured.

1

New research shows that reversal is more common than even doctors realised.

A study of people in Scotland showed that one in 20 with type 2 diabetes achieve remission, even without medical or surgical intervention.

Researchers said it was higher than expected and there could be many more people able to pull it off.

Diabetes remission is when someones blood sugar comes down to a healthy level and stays there for at least six months. Patients can come off medication.

Experts prefer to use the term remission rather than reversal because there is still the potential that it will come back.

Diabetes UK says there are still a lot of unknowns about how diabetes remission works.

However, the strongest evidence is that remission is best achieved by losing weight.

The charity says: If you have obesity, you are more likely to put your diabetes into remission if you lose a substantial amount of weight 15kg (or 2 stone 5lbs) as quickly and safely as possible following your diagnosis.

If you do want to start losing weight quickly to work towards remission, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional before you begin, to make sure its right for you. Also, you may need to reduce or stop any medications insulin or sulphonylurea, for example before you begin losing weight.

Rapid weight loss is not advised if you are a healthy weight, under 18, pregnant, breastfeeding or have ever been diagnosed with an eating disorder.

The charity suggests the following ways proven for weight loss and type 2 diabetes reversal for some:

The best evidence for diabetes remission is for a low calorie diet that involves just 850 to 1,200 calories per day.

It normally involves drinking soups or shakes for 12 weeks before gradually reintroducing foods again.

Unsurprisingly, it is hard to eat this little for so long, and side effects include nausea and headaches.

But according to a leading study, funded by Diabetes UK, a low calorie diet can help a quarter of type 2 diabetes patients lose 15kg or more of weight, and put 86 per cent of those into remission.

The results of the trial mean the NHS is now trialling it across the UK.

There are a number of areas where patients can access the programme through the NHS.

Private companies also sell soup and shake diets or you can find books or programmes online.

But you have to talk to a doctor before starting one of these diets to make sure it is safe for you.

Diabetes UK says some people go into remission by losing weight with a Mediterranean diet.

A Mediterranean diet focuses on fish, some dairy, eggs, lean protein like chicken, fruits, vegetables, beans and pulses, nuts and seeds, wholegrains and olive oil.

Red meat, processed foods and sugar is eaten in small amounts.

The diet of people around the Mediterranean sea is shown to be beneficial for anyone - but appears to be specifically helpful for those with type 2 diabetes.

It cuts back on foods that contribute to weight gain, like simple carbs, without being too restrictive. If a way of eating is easy, people will stick to it for longer.

It encourages foods that are good for blood sugar control, like wholegrains that are full of fibre.

In addition, the diet is known to be beneficial for the heart - and people with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk of heart disease.

Diabetes UK has a meal plan to help make eating a Mediterranean diet more simple.

Low-carb eating can be beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes and may help get to remission, perhaps with more evidence than Mediterranean.

Generally, low-carb eating is when you reduce the total amount of carbs you consume in a day to less than 130g, Diabetes UK says.

For reference, two medium slices of bread may be between 30 and 40g of carbs, while a large jacket potato is around 90g.

If you tried eating a low-carb diet, youd focus more on proteins like fish, chicken or beans, fats like avocado, nuts and yoghurt and fruit and vegetables for snacks.

Youd have to closely monitor bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, pizza, sandwiches, bagels, biscuits, cakes, pastries and many other packaged foods.

The low-carb diet may work because out of the three main energy-providing macronutrients (protein, carbs and fats), carbs have the greatest impact in raising both blood sugar and insulin levels.

By cutting back on carb intake, it should help to bring down blood sugar and insulin levels.

People who see a drastic change in how many carbs they consume - and a move to a healthier diet generally - may also lose weight, which in itself will help towards remission.

Weight loss surgery is when the stomach is made smaller, or restricted with a band, so that you eat less food and feel fuller quicker.

Although it will take time for the weight to come off, experts say blood sugar levels start dropping very soon after surgery.

Research has found it changes the way the digestive system works and how the gut uses glucose.

One study found that almost a third (30.4 per cent) of people who had surgery were in remission after 15 years.

It may seem like a quick fix, but people who get weight loss surgery still have to learn to eat healthily for the rest of their life.

You can sometimes get surgery on the NHS if you meet certain criteria. Otherwise, it may cost some several thousand pounds privately.

Its impossible to avoid binge eating Diwali delicacies. Friends, family, neighbours and festive mood dont allow us to stay away from mouthwatering snacks, sweets, spicy dishes. In recent times, with growing awareness on the role of healthy eating in preventing and managing obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases, some of us surely try to make Diwali a bit healthy by making a few modifications in cooking or choosing foods.

However, we can only hope that wehavefigured out how to eat sensibly during Diwali given there is an abundance of advice out there. All these tips, tricks and hope evaporate within seconds of sensing the caramelised aroma ofhalwaor munching the crisply friedshankarpalifor the first time. We eventually get convinced that its just a matter of three days grand feast and nothing much can happen even if we overindulge.

Wrong.

Oncethe festival is over and we are back to reality,thats whenbinge-eating-induced trauma hits us hard. Manypeoplestart panic fasting,go forsevere calorie restriction, vigorous exercises,or eatonly fruits or lemonade,consumeso-called detox drinks to shed off that extra kilos and inches. But those efforts hardly work. What works? Consistent effort in making gradual changes, getting back to exercise routine, adding essential nutrients back to the plates, not being anxious or stressed,and most importantly,not punishingyourself. Chronic stress will not do any good but delay the results.

Gastritis and constipation are the most common complaints following any festival. Festival special foods that are extremely spicy, greasy, sugar-loaded are often responsible for acid reflux or heartburn. Health-conscious or not, everyone indulges in binge eating during festivals. Consuming extra calories and not burning them leads to putting on extra weight. High sugary and calorie-laden delicacies shoot the blood sugar up and increase the risk of insulin resistance, pushing people who are already living with prediabetes one step closer to developing diabetes. Additionally, refined sugar and trans-fat cause inflammation that leads to fatigue and tiredness.

Getting over Diwali delicacies and starting normally is tough but not impossible. Here are some guidelines to bring you back to a normal lifestyle.

First, stop feeling miserable.There are many people like you who binge ate, gained weight, and felt lethargic.A sense of guilt may lead you to chronic stress and you might end up eating more to get over the guilt of binging. In that case, it will be impossible to escape binge eating and start normal again. Keep a positive attitude and forgive yourself for enjoying all those Diwali delicacies. After all, it was one of the most awaited festivals that India celebrates with true spirit.

Make a sensible planthat involves regular physical activity and eating healthy. Do not punish yourself with extended gym hours and an empty stomach. An emotional response to lose weight quickly may deprive you of getting essential nutrients, causing protein deficiency and drowsiness. A mix of guilt, anger and hunger may lead you to binge again. Additionally,extra hoursat the gym might cause muscle and bone injury beyond repair. Start your normal routine by eating light, small meals, adding protein and green vegetables to all your meals, adding fiber by including whole grains, leafy veggies, and legumes. Restart physical activity as part of your daily routine and not as a punishment. Dont look back and get on with your daily life.

Be realisticwith your progress. There is no way you can lose those extra kilos overnight. Its sensible to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. You need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day to achieve this weight loss. A healthy calorie deficit can be achieved either by eating a low-calorie diet or by burning calories. The healthiest calorie deficit can be obtained by combining both.

Drink a lot of water torestore hydration.Eight to ten glasses of water daily help you stay satiated, minimise cravings and flush out toxins. Homemade fresh juices, lemon water, salted lassi, buttermilk, cucumber or fruit-infused water are good options to bring varieties.

Dont go detox.Post-festival times are the best times for the detox scams to trap you in their lucrative health claims. Diet fads like juice and vegetable cleanses are often sold as great ways to detox your body. Fundamentally, these diets dont vanquish any toxin from your body rather promote prolonged fasting, or severe calorie restriction. Short-term fast makes you feel fatigued, irritable, and lethargic.

On the other hand, long-term fasting with detox juices can be detrimental to health, because it causes energy deficiency, vitamin, and mineral deficiency, and even electrolyte imbalance. Most of the time, detox foods and supplements lack scientific foundations as the detox industry is not regulated or monitored by competent authorities. A serious overdose canbefatal if you are not careful.

In the end, moving on from past mistakes and starting fresh is the key to overcoming Diwali or any other festival binge eating. Focus on what you can do today, and put efforts to avoid such circumstances in the future. Cherish the priceless, delightful moments Diwali brought to you and get back on track by eating well, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and looking after your mental and social wellbeing.

Overdosed on Diwali sweets? Heres how you can recover - ThePrint

Dubai:New Zealand opener Martin Guptill has revealed that he lost around 4.4 kg weight after playing a lengthy knock in his team's win over Scotland on Wednesday in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup.

The attacking batter became the player of the match after scoring 93 off 56 with six fours and seven sixes. He played until the penultimate over and guided the Kiwis to a score of 172/5, which proved to be a winning total in the end.

"When I came off the field after batting, I'd lost about 4.4 kilos so the (hydration) process had to start pretty quickly after that," Guptill was quoted as saying on TVNZ's Breakfast hours.

After their 16-run win over Scotland in Dubai, New Zealand are next scheduled to face Namibia on Friday in Sharjah. And, Guptill also mentioned that he won't do much before the team's next match.

"I was pretty cooked but we have a day off so I won't be doing too much there," he said.

It was Guptill and Glenn Phillips's 105-run stand for the fourth wicket that steadied the ship for the Kiwis against Scotland. The veteran batter said how he and Phillips have done well together even in domestic cricket.

"We didn't have a great start, losing three wickets in the powerplay, it wasn't quite a rescue mission but Glenn and I had to assess the situation and then put a partnership together," said Guptill.

"I've played a lot of cricket with Glenn, we know how each other bat, we've put on some good partnerships for Auckland back home, so it was easy to get a partnership going together with him," he added.

New Zealand are currently placed third in the table in Group 2 with four points and a net run rate of 0.816.

22 Cozy Breakfast Casserole Recipes That Are Perfect for Weight Loss Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Patients are flocking to the first new obesity medicine to reach the market in years, boosting returns for drugmaker Novo Nordisk A/S.

In a field starved for options, demand is exceeding supply for Wegovy, a weekly injection launched in June that dampens patients appetite and helps them to lose about 15% of their body weight. The Danish drugmakers obesity-drug revenue surged by an unprecedented 41% last quarter.

The pandemic may have played a role in motivating people to lose weight amid evidence that carrying extra pounds can worsen the outcome for Covid-19 sufferers, Chief Executive Officer Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen said Wednesday. But the drug is also the first slimming prescription medicine to gain clearance for seven years in the U.S., where a majority of adults are overweight and struggle to either shed pounds or keep them off.

Demand is strong, Fruergaard Jorgensen said on a conference call Wednesday. Its of course unfortunate that we cant help all patients. The company is working through supply constraints to produce and package as much of the medicine as possible, he said, and the imbalance should resolve early next year.

Novo, best-known for its diabetes treatments, is pivoting to treat the global obesity epidemic -- a related chronic ailment with untold growth potential. Many drugmakers have tried and failed to harness the market, offering medicines that either disappointed or turned out to be risky.

The world will have an estimated 1 billion people considered obese by 2025, raising the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and driving health-care costs higher. In the U.S., the number of states where more than a third of adults are obese has nearly doubled since 2018.

Judging by analysts estimates, Wegovy will become a blockbuster next year, with annual revenue climbing to $3.2 billion in 2024. The drug works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake, and its not without side effects. Patients report symptoms ranging from vomiting to acid reflux.

Novo last week raised its profit and sales outlook for the year a second time on the back of the strong demand. Given its performance lately, the upper end of the outlook should be readily achievable, according to Peter Welford, an analyst at Jefferies.

For those on the journey of pursuing their personal weight loss goals, it's well known how hard the in-between meals time is. Having a spinach and egg omelet, crunchy kale salad, and grilled chicken dinner is easy, but what happens when you're starving in the afternoon and your only option is the vending machine at your office's breakroom? Those easily-available crunchy, fried snacks and sugary candies are no friend to dieters because they're seriously lacking in digestion-slowing, metabolism-building macronutrients like healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Healthier snacks, like high-protein snacks, can support your weight loss by helping you feel full for longer and much more.

Higher-protein diets have been linked to weight management, appetite regularity, and a decreased risk of health problems like cardiovascular disease. In other words, making sure we get enough protein is crucial to our health goals, especially as we enjoy our favorite holiday cookies this year.

If you're in a bind with a busy schedule and having trouble getting enough protein in your daily diet, protein bars can be a great addition to your pantry. They're affordable, easy, and great to take with you. And they can help you have more energy throughout the day.

Here are some of the best protein bars for weight loss, according to a few expert dietitians. And for more healthy eating tips, make sure to check out The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.

"I love these bars because you actually feel like you ate something! With 240-250 calories, 6 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein per bar, these bars are satisfying and filling. Plus, they taste great! They are a great "in-between" meals snack, which ultimately will help you be less hungry at the next meal." Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD author of The Sports Nutrition Playbook

"Full of almonds and pumpkin seeds, this crunchy bar is one of my favorites! With 12 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and less than 1 gram of sugar per bar, this bar helps you feel satisfied for hours. As a dietitian that loves crunch, this bar satisfies taste and texture!" Goodson

"With 12 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and minimal ingredients, the RXBAR is one of my favorites! It uses medjool dates as natural sweetener, which also contain fiber, plus nuts and egg whites. They are gluten-free and Kosher, so great for lots of eating preferences. These are sure to help you feel satisfied." Goodson

"Built bars are not only delicious, but are super healthy and great for weight loss. What I like most about these are that most of their flavors have 17g of protein and only 3g of fat, and they all taste like a treat. And most of their bars are super low in calories as well." Courtney D'Angelo, MS, RD, author at GoWellness

"G2G bars have a little bit more calories and added sugars than Built Bars, but they are still one of the healthier protein bars out there because of their fresh ingredients.There are 18g of protein in them, which is great for helping you feel full for a long period of time after eating them. G2G bars are gluten free and have no refined sugar." D'Angelo

"Healthy Eating On The Go protein bars are made with natural ingredients, low in sugar, and high in protein, which makes them an excellent candidate for protein bars that help with weight loss. Their Peanut Butter protein bar is made from natural peanut butter, raisins, and raw almond. Almonds have been shown to lower blood sugar levels and are very high in vitamins and protein. All together, this bar has 15g of protein, 210 calories, and 5g of fiber." D'Angelo

"Allulose is a rare sugar that gives foods the same taste and texture of table sugar without the added calories (0.4 calories per gram of allulose compared to 4 calories per gram of sucrose, or table sugar). These bars lean on allulose to give a sweet taste with less than one gram of added sugar. Increased sugar intake is linked to body weight gain, so finding a bar that is low in sugar that actually tastes good can help with weight management goals." Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, author of The First Time Mom's Pregnancy Cookbook and Fueling Male Fertility

"The Perfect bars are made with 20+ organic superfoods and loaded with plant-based protein while satisfying a major sweet tooth at the same time. These contain no preservatives and are a great and easy food to sneak in some protein mid-day." Manaker

"Free from dairy and soy, these bars contain plant-based proteins, prebiotic fiber for gut health, and antioxidants for a balanced and nutritious bar that is great for on-the-go eating." Manaker

"This bar has 7 grams of plant-based protein along with 3 grams of fiber for some serious staying power. And most importantly, these bars taste great!" Manaker

Microwave 'em, slow cook 'em, or soak 'em overnightjust about any way you prepare oats, they're a nutritious, weight-loss-friendly breakfast. Not only are oats loaded with fiber and complex carbohydrates that keep you full until lunch, but they're also 100% whole grain. Research shows that eating whole (instead of refined) grains may increase your metabolism and help you burn more calorieswoohoo!

Still, as with any food, letting bad habits creep into your morning routine can take your nutrient-dense, low-calorie breakfast into unhealthy territory. Want to stay the course for weight loss with your morning meal? Stick to these six habits. Then, try making one of these21 Cozy Oatmeal Recipes Perfect for Weight Loss This Fall.

Cutting back on sugar is a first-things-first principle of weight loss, not to mention general health. There's strong evidence that excess sugar is a cause of weight gainand spiking your blood sugar first thing with super-sweet oatmeal could lead to a mid-morning hypoglycemic crash. (Not fun.)

Rather than creating a dessert-level concoction with a mountain of brown sugar, strive for more subtle sweetness. Try a couple of teaspoons of maple syrup for a lower-carb sweetener, or let fruit sweeten your oatmeal naturally.

Working toward eating five fruits and veggies a day? It's a worthwhile goal for weight loss. One large study from 2015 found that people who included more fruits and vegetables in their diet were more likely to weigh less. Berries, apples, and pears were especially associated with greater losses.

Getting the recommended five servings of produce per day can be a tall order unless you start earlyso let your bowl of oatmeal be the vehicle for a serving of fruit! With a handful of berries, half a diced apple, or a layer of banana slices, you'll boost the fiber content in your breakfast and load up on important micronutrients like vitamin C and potassium.

Weight loss experts often tout the powers of protein for dropping pounds. This muscle-building macro is extremely satiating, staving off the hunger pangs that might drive you to overeat. Oats are a surprising source of protein all by themselves (a half-cup serving contains an impressive 6 gramsas much as an egg), but adding, even more, is a cinch. A dollop of nut butter, a sprinkle of seeds or nuts, or a scoop of protein powder incorporate beautifully into a hearty morning bowl.

Oats are considered both nutrient-dense and calorie-dense, so although they're an excellent choice at breakfast, they're not a low-calorie food. If you're watching your weight, it's smart to stick to moderate portions. The official serving size for rolled or instant oats is a half cup. This might not seem like much at first, but don't forget that, with the addition of liquid, oats expand to about twice their original size.

Here's a pro tip: make oatmeal in a smaller cereal bowl, not a soup bowl, to create a more satisfying visual.

Forty minutes in front of the stove on a Wednesday morning? Ain't nobody got time for that! For successful weight loss, choose an oatmeal prep method that fits your lifestyle. If you're the on-the-go type, reserve a few minutes the night before to toss together a jar of overnight oats. Or, on hectic mornings, microwave a cozy bowl of instant oats in two minutes flat. (Here's my personal favorite for a simple, healthy recipe.)

That said, while convenience is a top priority, pre-packaged, commercially produced oatmeal packets aren't always a friend to weight loss efforts. Some are little more than desserts in disguise. Read labels and ingredient lists carefully to spot sneaky sugars and high carb counts. You may be better off DIYing your own oatmeal from simple, whole foods ingredients.

Eating the same old breakfast every single day can get awfully boring (even if it's something you like). And when you're bored, it's all too easy to jump ship from your healthy breakfast.

6 Oatmeal Habits That Help With Weight Loss, Says Dietitian Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

During her "Year of Health," actor Rebel Wilson lost 77 pounds and hit her goal weight. Now, the "Pitch Perfect" star is opening up about how she's maintaining her weight loss and other healthy habits.

While visiting New York City, Wilson told TODAY Health about her newfound love for exercise and the small changes she's made to stay on track. After leading a walk through Central Park, the actor said that leisurely walking was one of her favorite ways to work out.

"It's just about keeping your body moving and keeping the blood pumping," Wilson explained. "I feel like sometimes people think you need to work your body really hard to get results, and yeah, if you were training to be the next Thor or something you would be doing hardcore things, but as a regular person, walking is just so healthy for you. The body is designed to move in that way."

While her "Year of Health" included stops at an exclusive resort in Austria and an emphasis on emotional and mental health, Wilson said that she's found walking to be both enjoyable and easy to incorporate into daily life.

"When I go for a walk, I can put in a podcast or listen to music, and it's so easy to do anywhere in the world," Wilson said. "I can just go out and do it. It's become my favorite form of exercise right now."

Wilson said that with her busy schedule she recently worked on two movies back-to-back it's important for her to have habits that she can maintain anywhere in the world. She said that she was worried she would slip back into unhealthy eating habits while working on the films.

"It's actually been stressing me out a little bit ... I was like 'Oh God, what if I go back to my old habits of eating a whole pint of ice cream because I'm stressed?'" Wilson said. "Or reach for the sugar, because that's what I do when I'm tired and stressed."

However, because of how thorough her "Year of Health" was, Wilson said that she didn't "gain back any of the weight" she lost in 2020, and has even lost "a few extra pounds" in 2021.

"It is weird, because I haven't been trying to, it's just that the lifestyle habits that I did last year have kind of become ingrained," Wilson said. "So it's good. I think I'm a little bit shocked, because I was worried. I think everybody who's struggled with their weight has at times (felt like that) ... I've managed to maintain that for almost a year. It's just all those lifestyle habits changing."

In addition to continuing to eat well and exercise, Wilson said that she's leaned on self-care rituals like massages and facials to help her stay on track. She also works to get eight hours of sleep each night, no matter how busy her schedule is, and has even replaced her afternoon snack with a dose of vitamins.

"When I'm filming, at about 3 p.m., I would go and take all my Olly vitamins and stuff," said Wilson, who is an influencer for the gummy vitamin brand. "It felt like a treat, because they're so yummy ... They're not candy, but they (remind me) of the Haribo gummy bears I used to eat and they actually have things that are good for me."

Wilson added that the maintenance process has been complicated by her ongoing fertility journey: She has been undergoing egg retrieval processes to freeze her eggs, including one procedure over the weekend, and the hormones of the process have an impact on her physical and mental state.

"I'm still trying," Wilson said. "Women have that biological ticking clock, that's very powerful. But it's hard when you're a working woman to fit it in. But I'm trying to get some more options for that end. I don't know how it's going to end up, with that process, but I'm just trying it out. It's a high priority."

However, that hope to be a mother has all inspired her to stay healthy.

"The healthier I am, the more chances I'll have (of having kids)," Wilson explained. "Thinking of potential future children to be healthy (for) is an extra motivation."

Wilson also shared some advice for anyone looking to start their own "Year of Health," noting that it's "never too late to start" improving your habits and mindset.

"Some people go 'I'm old, I don't need to look good for anybody,' or 'I'm married,' or whatever," Wilson said. "And I think what the pandemic taught us all is that health is so important. Your health is your world. It doesn't matter how much money you've got, if you've got terrible health, you can't enjoy anything and if you're healthy, you can live life to the fullest."

The actor also said that there's no need to add a specific weight-loss or exercise goal. Instead, just commit to being a "healthier version" of yourself in the coming months.

"Just give it a go," Wilson said. "Don't beat yourself up if in the past you were unhealthy, because I definitely was engaging in unhealthy habits like eating junk food and sugar all the time. But it doesn't do any benefit to beat yourself up. It's more about going 'OK, I'm going to do this for me.' ... Try things throughout the year, different lifestyle habits that are positive and healthy, and see what results you get. Any steps that you take towards having better health is a plus."
