"A close friend of mine had some serious complications because of type 2 diabetes and it scared me to death," said Medifast client Steven Eldridge, of Raytown, MO. "I was suffering from the disease myself and decided to consult my doctor. He said the best thing I could do is to lose the weight, and that's when I found Medifast. I lost 114 pounds in 5 months on the Medifast Program and am totally off my diabetes medication for the first time in 6 years, which is an absolute miracle, and I have Medifast to thank!"

The study compared Medifast's effectiveness for weight control in people with type 2 diabetes to the standard ADA recommended dietary guidelines. The study enlisted 112 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes using two weight loss approaches of equal caloric prescription - the Medifast Program and a traditional reduced-calorie diet based on the ADA recommended dietary guidelines.

According to the results, participants randomized to receive Medifast lost twice as much weight and were twice as compliant with the diet as participants following the standard ADA diet. Approximately 40 percent of the Medifast participants lost greater than 5 percent of their initial weight, compared with 12 percent of those on the standard ADA diet. Additionally, 24 percent of the Medifast users decreased or eliminated their diabetes medication, compared to 0 percent on the standard ADA diet.
