The NHS offers a 900-calorie-a-day liquid diet to reverse type 2 diabetes, but sticking to it proves challenging based on recent findings.
With 940 participants completing the year-long programme, a third managed to shed significant weight and achieve diabetes remission.
This groundbreaking opportunity, fully funded by the NHS, aims to combat obesity, a major health threat.
Candidates, aged 18-65 years, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last six years and with specific BMI criteria, are eligible for the programme.
