A new analysis published in the magazine (The Lancet Diabetis & Induchinology), which specializes in diabetes and endocrine diseases, said that the greater the weight of the weight of people with type 2 diabetes, the more likely to recover from the disease partially or even completely.
By reviewing the results of 22 previously random examinations to test the effect of weight loss on type 2 diabetes who suffer from weight gain or obesity, the researchers found that half of those who lost between 20 and 29% of their weights found a way to complete recovery, which was also from about 80% of patients who lost 30% of their weight.
This means that the levels of hemoglobin (A.1C), a measure that reflects average blood sugar during the past few months, or that blood sugar levels during fasting have returned to normal without using any diabetes medications.
No diabetes was blessed with less than 20% of his body weight with complete recovery, but some improved partially with the return of hemoglobin (A.1C) and their glucose levels during fasting to almost normal.
A partial recovery was also observed in approximately 5% of cases of those who lost less than 10% of their weights and that this percentage increased steadily with an increase in weight loss, reaching about 90% among those who lost at least 30% of their weight.
In general, each decrease in body weight represents 1% as a possibility of more than 2% to reach complete recovery, and a possibility to reach partial recovery by more than 3%, regardless of age, sex, race, diabetes, or control of blood sugar or the type of weight loss.
The researchers note that type 2 diabetes constitute 96% of all cases of the disease that has been diagnosed and that more than 85% of the adults with it suffer from weight gain or obesity.
They said, “The modern development of effective drugs in weight loss, if it becomes affordable, can play a pivotal role” in reducing the spread of diabetes and its complications.
