Not saying this works for all Type 2 diabetics, or for the 10% of the people who have Type 1 diabetes. Although research has shown for years that most type 2 diabetes is obesity and lifestyle related.
Here is the problem. Most people should decrease the amount of fat built up in our livers, pancreas and bodies in general. However, as Americans and really most of the industrialized world, we cannot change our fat ass lifestyles. We have no will power to the marketing of cheap foods that are laden with salt, saturated fat, sugar, chemicals and preservatives that are thrust in our faces daily in order that food companies can make billions in profits.
Just my opinion, now off to Costco because I’m sure I need some mega bag of something they are pushing today.

Wow, wouldn't it be a blessing if such a simple solution would 'cure' or put into remission this insidious disease? You are right though that very few could make the behavioral modifications required. The big Mac is just a power window away!

I mentioned this in a blog post earlier this year after having a Community Health clinical at our town's free clinic. Almost all the patients I saw that day came in on so many different meds -- meds to combat high BP, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, etc. I know that diet and lifestyle changes will not eliminate the need for meds in all people and conditions, but I'm one of those people who would definitely try, not just pop a pill and keep on keepin' on. Apparently, a lot of people are perfectly fine with that. :-(
*not to say I never eat high fat, high sugar, high calorie foods...I will admit that I do. But I also have normal BP, cholesterol, and blood sugar. If that ever changes, I will make necessary adjustments.
