Would you be able to lose 15% body weight in order to manage, or even reverse T2 diabetes?

It has been documented that in patients with BMI >25 (overweight and obese), a 15% loss of body weight can reverse T2 diabetes or prevent onset of diabetes in pre-diabetics. The difficulty is, losing this weight and maintaining it in the long-term is a huge challenge!

As part of my masters degree I am researching the types of challenges and motivations people experience in losing this degree of weight, and any specific support or resources they might require from healthcare professionals to achieve this.

I'd be really grateful if you could take 5 minutes to complete this survey. The results may help to inform the support received by T2 diabetics in primary care services.

Done. I needed to lose over 20% of my weight before I felt that I might have reversed diabetes rather than kept control by diet. I didn't use shakes because I wouldn't feel comfortable with the ingredients in them.

Done! - ...Enjoyed that!
 
Hi,
I have just finished the book - reversing type 2 diabetes by Prof Roy Taylor. It says you should aim to lose 15k but not sure if that is good and has anyone read this book
