I thought it was quite a thoughtful article. It says lifestyle rather than drugs should be the starting point for most people.
It also says
"There is no question that type 2 diabetes needs to be taken seriously and treated. But common sense should rule the day. Lifestyle changes are very effective, and the side effects of eating more healthfully and staying more active are positive ones. Every person with type 2 diabetes is an individual. No single goal is right for everyone, and each patient should have a say in how to manage their blood sugars and manage risk. That means an informed discussion, and thoughtful consideration to the number."
Many people on this site have changed what they eat and seen positive results. The article supports that (although it may have a different view of diet - but that is guessing ). It writes about treating people as individuals.
Thank you for posting it
