01 Sep 2020 --- Weight loss could prevent or even reverse Type 2 diabetes, according to research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2020. In its analysis of 445,765 participants of the UK Biobank, the researchers found that people in the group with the highest body mass index (BMI) had a greater likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes than all other BMI groups, regardless of genetic risk. The researchers now flag that it may also be possible to reverse diabetes by losing weight in the early stages before permanent damage occurs.
