Type 2 diabetes can be treated, sometimes reversed through diet: Study
As per a new study, type 2 diabetes can be treated and sometimes reversed, with dietary interventions. However, pharmacists need a strategy to help people implement these interventions while keeping an eye on their medication changes
During a recent study, a research team found that people with Type 2 diabetes can effectively control it through diet and pharmacists are well-positioned to supervise the transition.
The research from the University of British Columbia and England’s Teesside University, published in Nature Communications, was part of a 12-week study involving a specialized diet that was managed by local pharmacists.
Study participants, all living with Type 2 diabetes, were given a meal plan of low calorie, low carbohydrate, higher protein foods and they checked in regularly with their pharmacist who could monitor their medications.
“Type 2 diabetes can be treated, and sometimes reversed, with dietary interventions,” said study co-author Dr Jonathan Little.
“However, we needed a strategy to help people implement these interventions while keeping an eye on their medication changes,” added Dr Jonathan.
Pharmacists are generally more accessible than a family doctor, says Little, noting that people with Type 2 diabetes often make more visits a year to their pharmacist than their doctor. This is especially true in rural areas.
“Community pharmacists have expertise in medication management and can serve an important role in overall diabetes care,” said Dr Jonathan, an associate professor in UBC Okanagan’s School of Health and Exercise Sciences.
“When Type 2 diabetes patients follow a very low-carbohydrate or low-calorie diet, there is a need to reduce or eliminate glucose-lowering medications. Community pharmacists are ideally positioned to safely and effectively deliver interventions targeted at reducing diabetes medications while promoting Type 2 diabetes remission,” added Dr Jonathan.

Holi 2024: Inside, professional advice on overcoming a Bhang hangover
Holi 2024: We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this festival of colors, which is quickly approaching. Every year, the nation celebrates Holi with great fanfare and extravagance. Holi commemorates the eternal love and marriage of Goddess Radha and Lord Krishna. In addition, Holi commemorates Lord Vishnu’s victory over Hiranyakashipu, highlighting the idea that good always triumphs over evil. Holi will be celebrated on March 25 this year. Holika Dahan, also known as Chhoti Holi, is observed the day before Holi. On the day of Holi, many customs and rites are observed throughout India. The cities of Barnsana and Nandgaon celebrate Lathmar Holi, whereas Vrindavan celebrates Phoolwali Holi.
Holi 2024: Here are some professional suggestions to avoid Bhang hangover, ranging from eating a balanced diet to sipping herbal tea.
During Holi, a variety of snacks and beverages are made to be enjoyed with loved ones. The colorful, crispy, and delectable Holi snacks range from gujia to rasmalai to namakpare. Thandai, a delightful concoction of milk, spices, and sweets, is the queen of the drink table. Bhang is among the primary draws of Holi. For its euphoric impact, thandai is sometimes blended with powdered paste made from the female cannabis plant’s leaves and flowers. But after the first euphoria wears off, there’s also the inevitable hangover the following morning.
Methods for overcoming a hangover
Hydrate the body: Hydration is crucial for managing a hangover caused by Bhang during Holi. Sip on lots of water to flush out toxins and replenish your body’s moisture.
Consume coconut water: Coconut water and other electrolyte-rich beverages can help replenish lost nutrients.
A balanced diet: blood sugar regulation and nausea reduction can be achieved by eating a well-balanced meal high in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats.
Herbal teas and rest: Herbal teas with relaxing properties, such as peppermint or ginger, can ease stomach discomfort. Your body can mend itself by resting in a quiet, dark environment.
Limit alcohol intake: Limit your alcohol and cannabis intake to prevent symptoms from getting worse. As soon as symptoms develop or continue, get medical help.
