[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2669932, member: 6467"] Follow the money. If there is a choice between a pill and a lifestyle change the medical community will back the pill and the patient should seriously consider the lifestyle changes. Drug companies live by selling drugs. They also fund much of the medical community. A different "just consider this". If there was a drug to permanently cure T2 in one dose, how likely is it that the drug companies would actively market this? It would cost them an absolute fortune. Consider also if there is a recommendation to avoid all ultra processed foods, limit oneself to fresh above ground vegetables, fats and protein, how much support the food industry would give this? How many aisles in the supermarkets would magically disappear? Don't be surprised then when mainstream charities seem reluctant to recommend what we regard as obvious. I raise the issue with DUK from time to time. Latest response is "We are looking at it but the jury is still out." [/QUOTE]
