USC publishes results of a fasting mimicking diet that may reverse diabetes

(Crier Communications, Inc.) A landmark study published today Cell finds that providing mice with a temporary, specifically formulated Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD™) promotes the growth of new insulin-producing pancreatic cells and reduces symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The study also examined pancreatic cell cultures from human type 1 diabetes patients, finding similar results. The results suggest that a Fasting Mimicking Diet could alleviate diabetes in humans.
