INTRODUCTION The raised blood glucose levels in Type 2 diabetes are due to a combination of a reduced amount of insulin secreted from the pancreas gland and the insulin not working properly to control glucose particularly at the level of the liver. Glucose is stored in the liver and we use glucose stored in the liver when we are not eating. In Type 2 diabetes too much glucose is released from the liver when we are not eating because it is not sensitive to insulin. In 2011 a research group at the University of Newcastle, led by Professor Roy Taylor, invited 11 people with Type 2 diabetes with a body mass index (weight corrected for height - the normal is under 25 kg/m2) of 33 kg/m2 and placed them on a severely restricted energy intake for 8 weeks. Their fasting blood glucose level fell from 9 to 6 mmol/l within a week. The blood glucose levels remained normal throughout the study. Over the course of 8 weeks their weight dropped from 101 to 88 kg which meant that their body mass index went down from 33 to 29 kg/m2. Measurements of fat within the liver and the pancreas gland showed that the weight loss was associated with a reduced amount of fat in the liver and the pancreas. The amount of insulin coming out of the pancreas increased and the action of insulin on the liver was improved with the substantial weight loss. This experiment was designed to prove that the high glucose levels in Type 2 diabetes are a result of too much fat in the liver and in the pancreas gland. It proved that with a substantial loss of weight (more than 10 kg), glucose levels in diabetes are lowered and a number of people will be cured of their Type 2 diabetes. Since the publication of this paper a number of people from around the world have adopted similar severe calorie restrictions and they too have lost substantial amounts of weight and their glucose levels have similarly improved. It may be that you would like to attempt significant weight loss in a short space of time using severe calorie reduction. If so this booklet will give you more information. The Diet In the experiment the diet was a liquid diet formula containing carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The liquid diet needs to provide 600 calories a day. This is supplemented by 3 portions of non-starchy vegetables a day which brings the total calorie intake to 800 calories per day. It is important to drink lots of calorie-free fluids every day (2 to 3 litres per day). Many companies make liquid diet formulas. Slim-Fast shakes cost £1.55 each or £7.99 for six and are available at most supermarkets. They provide slightly more than 200 calories a shake but the difference is not significant. Tesco’s provide an Ultra-Slim meal replacement which contains 215 calories per carton. A single carton is 0.98p and if you buy a powder formula it costs £4 for 12 shakes. Asda provide a ‘Measure-up’ compound which contains 203 calories and this costs £4.50 for 9

shakes and a single carton costs 0.98p. Superdrug does a 7-day programme providing 210 calories per meal. They provide a free shaker but the cost is £27.99. These prices will vary depending on special offers and it is best to shop around but the important thing is that you get 3 formulations a day providing about 600 calories a day and it should probably cost you about £3 a day. You need to supplement these liquid diet formula drinks with three portions of non-starchy vegetables a day and below are included some vegetable recipes. It is very important to drink at least 2 litres of water or other calorie-free beverages each day. You are not allowed to have any alcohol. THE DIET IN DETAIL Low Calorie Diet Programme (800 calories per day) Meal replacement with liquid diet formulas (3 sachets each day) as given above - this provides a total of 600 calories and the necessary daily vitamins and mineral requirements. Eat up to 3 portions of non-starchy vegetables each day (total of 250g each day) for fibre content. This will provide another 200 calories. Drink 3 litre of water or calorie-free beverages each day. During the 8 weeks of the diet; • No poultry, fish or meat • No bread or pasta • No dairy products (even full skimmed milk!) • No root vegetables like potato, sweet potato, turnip • No pulses • No fruits • No alcohol IDEAS FOR A NORMAL DAY ON THE DIET Breakfast: liquid diet formula Lunch: liquid diet formula soup or milkshake / salad Evening meal: liquid diet formula soup or milkshake Snacks/super: salad / roasted vegetables / homemade soup / vegetable snacks Vegetables allowed (at least 250g per day ~ i.e. 3 portions per day) • Artichoke • Celery • Onions • Broccoli • Cucumber • Peppers • Brussel sprouts • Leeks • Radish • Cabbage • Lettuce • Tomatoes • Carrots • Mung bean sprouts • Water chestnuts • Cauliflower • Mushrooms You can have all these vegetables. You can boil, grill, dry fry, stir fry, wrap in tin foil, and roast in the oven.

Herbs and Spices You will need to use some flavouring to prevent your dishes tasting so bland. Try to find some you like, such as; • Basil • Black pepper • Chillies • Chilli powder • Cinnamon • Coriander • Cumin

• Curry powder • Ginger • Lemon juice • Oregano • Parsley • Rosemary • Rum essence

• Sage • Tarragon • Thyme Dried • Tumeric • Vanilla essence • Vinegar

Meal ideas Salads / soups / stir fry / tomato based sauces Just a small bowl of soup (200 ml) can fill you up for a long time, also good to freeze or leave in the fridge for a couple of days. Soups (some recipe ideas) Carrot • 600g carrots (grated) • 2 cumin seeds • pinch of chilli flakes • 1 litre vegetable stock Carrot and Coriander • 1 onion (chopped) • 1 tsp ground coriander • 450g carrots (peeled) and 1-2 litre vegetable stock also add cumin seeds/chilli flakes French Onion • 1kg onions • 2tbsp thyme • 1 litre beef stock Mushroom • 1 onion, chopped • 1 garlic clove (crushed) • Fresh thyme • 400g mushrooms • 850ml vegetable stock Tomato sauce: • 1 onion (chopped) • 2 garlic cloves (crushed) • 1 red pepper (chopped) • 400g tinned chopped tomatoes • 1 tbsp basil • 1 tbsp parsley • 1 tbsp chives • 1 green pepper

Pea and watercress • 1 onion (chopped) • 1 clove garlic (crushed) • 500ml vegetable stock • 300g fresh peas • 100g watercress Tomato • 3x400g tins of chopped tomatoes • 850ml vegetable stock • 1 clove garlic (crushed) • basil leaves (chopped) Vegetable • Chopped onions • 1 tbsp mustard seeds • 1 tbsp cumin seeds • 2 leeks, sliced • 3 carrots • 2-3 tsp curry powder • 1-2 litre vegetable stock Salsa: • 4 fresh plum tomatoes (finely chopped) • 1 bunch rocket lettuce (finely chopped) • 1 bunch flat leafed parsley (finely chopped)

Other recipe ideas Try different lettuces such as rocket and crispy leaf, don’t just stick to the iceberg lettuce. Try different types of fat free, low calorie dressings to add some different flavours. Using herbs and vinegars can help with flavour. Simple salad • 80g/3oz of mixed lettuce/salad leaves (around 1 cereal bowl full) • 1 medium tomato (sliced) • 3 mushrooms (sliced) • 2-3 sticks of celery (chopped) • 3 sliced rings of green pepper • 1 tablespoon fat free dressing Top Tips Chilling the shakes can make them more palatable. If you are struggling to drink enough fluid (2 to 3 litres a day) add another 200ml to soups. Sugar free gum may help. For a special treat Hartley’s jelly is only 10 calories. ADVERSE EFFECTS Over the first few days of severe calorie restriction some people feel a bit unwell and some people report headaches, dizziness, tiredness, hunger and feeling cold. However after 2-4 days most people seem to feel much better. It is important to drink plenty of fluids so you feel a little bit full up and wrap up warmly. Your body will be breaking down fat and so sometimes you do have a slightly funny taste in your mouth and some people may say that your breath smells a little bit sweet. There are no harmful effects on the body because you are being provided with some calories along with vitamins, minerals and other elements. Diabetes medicines and the diet If you are taking Metformin, Sitagliptin or Saxagliptin there will be no problems with you going onto the diet and carrying on with these medicines. If you are taking insulin, Gliclazide or Glipizide tablets or Exenatide or Liraglutide injections then you must speak to your doctor before embarking upon the diet as there would be a very high possibility that you would have a hypoglycaemic event (low blood glucose level) if you were to continue taking the usual dose. HOW LONG SHOULD I CONTINUE THE DIET In the experiment, people continued the calorie restriction for 8 weeks and everybody in the experiment was able to do this. If you are not able to lose at least 2.5 kg in the first week then it is less likely that you are going to be able to achieve a substantial weight loss. Most people lose about 4 kg in the first week and a lot of this is water. The length of the diet depends on how much weight you want to lose. Generally the longer you have had diabetes the more weight you are going to need to lose to get the glucose levels to near normal and for some people this will be 25% of their body weight. We think it is a good treatment for people with less than 10 years of type 2 diabetes.

We understand that this severe calorie restriction is not for everyone and that some who start the diet will not be able to continue with it. What happens at the end of the diet? If you have managed to lose a substantial amount of weight (more than 10 kg) then it is very likely that your blood glucose levels will be very nearly normal and the challenge then is to maintain this lower weight. This can be achieved by careful portion control and not eating too many foods that are high in fat. SUMMERY Substantial weight loss provides some people with Type 2 diabetes a way of normalising their glucose levels. The short-term severe calorie restriction using the liquid diet formula supplemented with non starchy vegetables, and a high fluid intake is a way of quickly and safely losing a lot of weight. This dramatic and rapid rate reduction is not for everybody and you should discuss it with a healthcare professional just to make sure it is safe for you and that any changes in medication can be made before you start the weight reduction. Some people would prefer a more gentle weight reduction.
