"Scientists at Newcastle University have shown the disease is caused by fat accumulating in the pancreas and losing less than one gram from the organ can reverse the life-limiting illness and restore insulin production." That vaguely implies to me they have proven that pancreatic beta-cell burnout is always caused by inter-organ fat, and that losing just 1g (9kcal) of said inter-organ fat will always result in complete regeneration of the pancreatic beta-cells in a short period of time.. happy to hear that for all T2D's if that were indeed the case, still I'm slightly doubtful. Over the long run of course, barring other chronic conditions, hormonal mega-mess or organ malfunction, the pancreas should be able to regenerate just like the liver and other crucial organs, given nutrients time rest and absence of undue stressors. Well that's a long list of "if"s already. By the time a T2D is usually diagnosed, shockingly chronically elevated insulin has been doing quite a bit of damage on their bodies all while still performing the job of keeping blood sugars stable. By the time this is no longer possible and "high sugar" is finally diagnosed, a lot will be well out of whack and healthy regeneration will be a lengthy slow process. OTOH, I'm not a medical professional.
