«Breaking News» NHS will put 5,000 diabetics on ultra-low calorie 'soup and shake' diets to reverse Type 2 diabetes

A low-calorie ‘soup and shake’ diet to reverse Type 2 diabetes will be prescribed to 5,000 patients.

NHS England said it would put the three-month regime at the heart of its new diabetes strategy after smaller trials saw half of patients go into remission.

In September the Daily Mail revealed health bosses were considering the scheme, which puts diabetics on a liquid-only diet of 800 calories a day.

Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, last night confirmed 5,000 patients will be included in a larger trial.

GPs have also been told to get 200,000 overweight patients on a scheme that will offer them Fitbits.

He said: ‘The NHS is now going to be ramping up practical action to support hundreds of thousands of people avoid obesity-induced heart attacks, strokes, cancers and Type 2 diabetes.

‘The NHS long-term plan is going to give people the power and the support to take control of their own lifestyles.’

The number of Britons with diabetes has doubled in 20 years. 

Almost 3.7million people are currently living with a diabetes diagnosis, up from 1.9 million in 1998.

The blended food shakes will be used to keep patients on a diet of under 800 calories a day - which has shown to cure the condition once deemed incurable

Patients on the scheme, thought to cost £435 per person, will also be given Fitbits to help them beat the condition (pictured, the Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Tracker)

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition which causes a person's blood sugar to get too high.

Over 4 million people in the UK are thought to have some form of diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with being overweight and you may be more likely to get it if it's in the family.

The condition means the body does not react properly to insulin – the hormone which controls absorption of sugar into the blood – and cannot properly regulate sugar glucose levels in the blood.

Excess fat in the liver increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes as the buildup makes it harder to control glucose levels, and also makes the body more resistant to insulin. 

Weight loss is the key to reducing liver fat and getting symptoms under control.

Symptoms include tiredness, feeling thirsty, and frequent urination.

It can lead to more serious problems with nerves, vision and the heart.

Treatment usually involves changing your diet and lifestyle, but more serious cases may require medication.

Of these, 90 per cent have Type 2 diabetes, which is closely linked to obesity.

Scientists at the universities of Newcastle and Glasgow have been pioneering the treatment of Type 2 diabetes with low-calorie diets for several years.

In 2016 they showed for the first time that the condition – long considered incurable – could actually be reversed with extreme dieting. 

Further trials showed putting people on the 800-calorie diet for three months had lasting effects, with a quarter of participants maintaining weight loss of at least 2st 5lb a year after starting the regime.

Some 46 per cent of patients saw their blood sugar fall by so much they were no longer considered to be diabetic.

Chris Askew, chief executive of charity Diabetes UK, said: ‘The first-year results ... showed that – for some people with Type 2 diabetes – an intensive, low-calorie weight loss programme delivered with ongoing support through primary care could put their condition into remission.

‘We are delighted NHS England have been inspired by this to pilot a Type 2 remission programme through the NHS.’

Last November it was revealed that thousands of obese people would be given Fitbit-style wristbands as part of the NHS drive to prevent diabetes.  

Health chiefs claimed that, if after 12 months it is deemed a success, it will be rolled out in other areas of the country.

The devices tell patients how many steps they take, calories consumed and burned off and hours slept.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
