Summary

This study looks at how fat buildup in the pancreas contributes to type 2 diabetes and whether weight loss can reverse it. Researchers will follow 104 overweight adults, including those without diabetes, with prediabetes, and with short- or long-term diabetes. Participants will follow a very low-calorie diet for 8-12 weeks, with support to maintain weight loss, to see how this affects pancreas fat and insulin production.
