Our first episode features Dr. Roy Taylor, a leading diabetes researcher and recipient of the prestigious EASD Claude Bernard Prize, discussing groundbreaking insights into type 2 diabetes remission.

He shares his journey in proving that type 2 diabetes can, in many cases, be reversed through targeted weight loss to reduce fat in the liver and pancreas. Dr. Taylor recounts the challenges he faced in gaining acceptance for his theories and highlights the role of media and patient stories in spreading awareness.

His approach has influenced a shift in treatment options, including the development of a national programme in the NHS for diabetes remission.
