It is seen that after gastric by pass surgery about in about 65% cases remission of diabetes is seen.(Without any weight loss)

Does this means that beta cells goes inactive due to extra work load?? Is it true that due to fatty pancreas beta cells slows down???

Is there anyway to make them active once again???

New castle experiment was about the same????

Yes, the beta cells start functioning again, but there is weight loss involved. Morbidly obese people start to lose weight immediately, though this isn't apparent for obvious reasons. The fatty liver and fatty pancreas start to heal and the pancreas starts to function normally. Insulin resistance also reverses. This outcome is the reason LCHF works and the mechanism is the same. A 1gm fat loss from the pancreas is enough to start the process.

So - life threatening surgery or a change of diet. Your choice.

Mr.Mike....are we leading to cure???

May be reversal....indefinite remission.....

Beta blocker tables like Atenol tobe prescribed to the HBP and diabets persons  Atenol also prescribed with combination ofcalcium channel blocker

  So this may not effect  T2 of the person. Beta blocker tablets will  help to reduce the both  BP and bS

Over a period of times in many persons beta cell get burned out due over work,. Even reserve beta cells die out due to strain of over burden. In the end type 2 gets converted to type1.

Absolutely wrong deduction .Total intake should be reduced to facilitate effective functioning of pancreas.

Most of T2 patients are prescribed 'sitagliptin' or some DPP4 blocker drug.This it self points out that beta cells are still working and producing insulin....

May be beta cells are not even clogged with liver fat.But fatty liver is present.....

Then is it possible as many ppl says 'Leptin Signaling'???

me thinks that could be because of extra load . Any thing , any machine becomes obsolete with extra and excessive use . But then again , the amount of extra load could be different in different individuals .If used sparingly any machine comes for long time . The same thing with human body .Excess use or no use leads to defective functionality .Perhaps that could be reason for the practice of feasts on festival days and fasts on days of religious importance in the olden days .I think it is high time we practiced that , instead of going ceremoniously for three meals per day with in between nibblings .
