This Fox News interview is an example of how the medical community is giving erroneous information to the public about diabetes. The one praiseworthy part of the interview acknowledges it is possible to reverse Type II diabetes. Unfortunately, the other parts of the interview includes some very damaging misinformation. The comments suggest the Type II diabetes is caused by obesity, when in fact metabolic syndrome and the resulting diabetes cause the weight gain and obesity. The comments recommend weight loss and exercise as the means for avoiding and treating diabetes, but such erroneous advice fails to acknowledge such weight loss cannot occur until and unless the glucose, higher insulin levels, and resultant metabolic syndrome and diabetes responsible for making it virtually impossible to lose most of the additional weight no matter how much exercise and restricted caloric intakes is attempted.

interesting.....so you have to get your blood sugars in the normal range before you can loose weight.

hmmm. What about those who have diabetes who are not overweight?

What would you say is the best advice on preventing diabetes?
Or is there some concise statement or video you could link to that summarizes it?

THank you

Agreed. That’s how we have ‘thin’ T-2 diabetics.

T-1 diabetes shouldn’t even share the same name as T-2. The treatment’s not the same. Their responses to insulin aren’t the same. The prognosis is not the same. It adds too much confusion into the mix.

Personally, I believe that the drop in T-2 diabetes is due to more people going low (or lower) carb. Gradually, the stigma is lifting for saturated fats.

Here’s a good one for you, Whiskey.

You’ll see that the money spent on bread has gone up, year-by-year. They’re happy about that and predict more money being made off bread in the future.

But scroll down through the charts until you see the WEIGHT of bread (in tons) sold throughout the last decade.

People, Americans have eliminated 1,000,800 TONS of bread from our collective diet since 2006. If you look at the numbers, that’s roughly a 20% decrease for the population.

Now check out meat consumption.

We’re eating about the same amount of red meat (a little less) than we were in the 60’s, but the poultry has shot up significantly. Fish and shellfish consumption has gone up as well.

These charts are telling me that the doctor was wrong to credit doctors for ‘better education’. The people are educating themselves and doing a great job at it!

300,000 people took charge of their own health and nutrition and saved themselves from diabetes last year! Yeay!

Type 2 is the result of being sedentary and eating a horrible diet over long periods of time and becoming morbidly obese. Once the weight is on, the older we get, the harder, almost impossible it is to get off. Those who are successful at reducing their weight to non pathological levels often see the need for their diabetes and blood pressure meds reduced or eliminated.

That has not been my experience. My morning blood glucose levels had been in the 180 range and in the evening, around 140. I lost 30 lb., and as I shed the weight, my blood glucose levels dropped almost proportionately. I now test around 115 in the morning and 100 in the evening.
