    First I want to express my empathy with your difficult situation.
    Further beta-cell regeneration is only necessary in type 1 diabetes, which is covered in the article, although I feel also there is a suggestion that the damage to the beta-cells could be caused by the high levels of insuline that have to be produced from the time the insuline resistance kicks in in those mice.
    The insulin resistance which type 2 sufferers suffer from, can be reversed by a 'not so very strict diet' for about 6 to 8 weeks only and without a very rigorous training, let alone for years.
    I'd say try again, a little longer, and no guarantees promised.
    (And yes, you're right, HFCS is pure shit.)

    Without being able to show you any source, I think I remember that pancreatic cancer can be caused by 'abuse' of the pancreas from eating loads of sugar which needs loads of insulin, to be produced by the pancreas, to be removed from the blood.

    It seems they used a homeostatis model assessment to conclude recovery of -cell function.

    A homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was performed to estimate steady-state -cell function (%B) and insulin sensitivity (%S), as previously described (Hsu et al., 2013, Matthews et al., 1985). The results indicate that the reversal of hyperglycemia was mainly caused by an induction of steady-state -cell function (%B)...

    Diabetes type 1 isn't provenly caused by diet.
    The article specifically includes diabetes 1.
    Also nobody has been blamed here.
    Although I wholeheartedly agree with you that the current Standard American Diet is a pile of shit, your comment is heartless towards people with diabetes type 1.
