A clinical trial published this week in Archives of Internal Medicine has shown that using a simple portion control dinner plate can help diabetics both lose weight and decrease their reliance on medication and injected insulin. Type two diabetes is caused in the majority of cases by being overweight. Sufferers often depend on drugs and insulin injections to control their symptoms. Doctors recognise that weight loss would greatly improve patients’ diabetes but struggle to find an effective solution. It is well known that diabetics find it even harder to lose weight than non-diabetics and yet they can benefit more.
