Study: Losing 1g of fat from pancreas reverses Type 2 diabetes

Losing less than 1g of fat from the pancreas reverses the effects of Type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

Experts from Newcastle University have found the disease — which affects millions of people worldwide and is on the increase — is caused by fat accumulating in the pancreas.

The long-term condition, which can have serious consequences for patients, occurs when there is too much glucose in the blood.
