That meant they could also cut back significantly on the amount of medication they needed. According to Dr. Osama Hamdy, director of the Obesity Clinical Program at Joslin Diabetes Center, the chances may be even better for those patients who address their diabetes early on.

"It's not simply that Western food is causing diabetes but that different body types, influenced by genes, respond to the same food differently," says Dr. William Hsu of the Joslin Diabetes Center. With no famine, these genes continue to convert food into glucose and fat. Excess glucose levels build up gradually in the blood, and insulin, which normally keeps glucose levels in check, can't keep up. After years of this metabolic treadmill, diabetes can develop...
