Description

People in a weight-loss trial who were able to reverse their diabetes diagnoses also lowered their risk of heart disease and kidney disease, according to new research.

Completed in 2016, the LOOK AHEAD trial followed more than 5,000 people for 12 years. It showed that a portion-controlled diet combined with exercise could help people with diabetes lose weight. Over all, however, their risk of heart disease did not decrease.
