GP Dr Michael Mosley was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes four years ago and rather than start on medication – he invented the 5:2 diet – resulting in him losing weight and reversing his diabetes diagnosis. Dr Mosley will be telling us how you can do the same on a similar diet.

After years of trying unsuccessfully to bring his Type 1 diabetes under control, Bob Ethier came to the Transplant Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston for help. He learned how a pancreas transplant could “cure” his diabetes. Who is a candidate for a pancreas transplant? What are the risks and how successful is the operation in putting an end to diabetes and its complications? Hear Bob’s story.

Presently in medicine, diabetes is not a curable disease. In type 1 diabetes, patients need lifelong insulin treatment to keep their blood sugars in normal range to avoid complications. In type 2 diabetes, studies suggest that in the very early stages of the disease it can be reversed with a strict calorie diet. But once type 2 diabetes is well established, it cannot be completely cured. Type 2 diabetes patients need to keep their blood sugars in normal range by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and taking their medications on a regular basis to avoid long-term complications.

CRISPR gene-editing technology in her work to cure genetic forms of diabetes.
