&quot;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.&quot;<p>That vaguely implies to me they have proven that pancreatic beta-cell burnout is <i>always</i> caused by inter-organ fat, and that losing just 1g (9kcal) of said inter-organ fat will <i>always</i> result in complete regeneration of the pancreatic beta-cells in a short period of time.. happy to hear that for all T2D&#x27;s if that were indeed the case, still I&#x27;m slightly doubtful.<p>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&#x27;s a long list of &quot;if&quot;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 &quot;high sugar&quot; is finally diagnosed, a lot will be well out of whack and healthy regeneration will be a lengthy slow process.<p>OTOH, I&#x27;m not a medical professional.
