In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss encouraging scientific findings that point to actual long-term reversal of blood sugar imbalances and full-blown diabetes. The "management" of blood sugar disease processes simultaneously acknowledges and ignores the possibility of reversal through weight loss, due to extremely low success rates through standard caloric deficit dieting. With a more effective plan that results in significant fat reduction, long-term balance can be restored.   Predictors of type 2 diabetes remission in the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT)   Diabetes Statistics   Show Transcript: www.thefastingforlife.com/blog   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please tap on the stars below and consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
