In type 2 diabetes not enough insulin is made in the pancreas or it does not work properly, leading to dangerously high blood sugar levels. Five million people in Britain have the condition, which can greatly affect everyday life and lead to amputations and blindness.
Studies increasingly show that significant weight loss reduces fat in the pancreas, allowing it to recover the ability to produce insulin.

I suspect T2 diabetics' insulin works just fine (that is, is not biologically defective in its makeup) and the problem is in the toxic overload of stored energy, as evidenced by the refered-to fat loss from the pancreas improving its health and insulin productivity. Dr. Jason Fung has addressed this matter of toxic energy overload as well as Dr. Naiman and Marty Kendall as well. Here's a handy short video by Dr. Ken Berry (whom many in the low carb community are familiar with) on a simple nutrient-rich weight loss diet I'm finding really useful that doesn't require severe calorie reduction or purchase of highly processed food-like products of dubious nutritional value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LN...6t7v1N&index=32
