Can type 2 diabetes be reversed? In this EASD TV discussion, Professors Nita Forouhi (University of Cambridge) and Michael Lean (University of Glasgow) speak with EASD TV Host Vivienne Parry to explore nutrition, weight loss and remission in type 2 diabetes.

They discuss:
• The role of ultra-processed foods and red meat in diabetes risk
• How whole-food, minimally processed diets support health
• The science showing that significant weight loss can reverse type 2 diabetes
• Fat accumulation in organs like the liver, pancreas, and heart, and how removing it restores function
• Communicating clear, evidence-based nutrition messages to patients and policymakers

A must-watch session for anyone interested in diabetes prevention, remission and the intersection of diet and public health.
