I am a PWD, which means I am diabetic. I have less problem with what caused it - thar is history and irrelevant to my condition today. Rather than blaming lifestyle for 'causing' it, most of us will need to change our lifestyle anyway,
I despair at the resistance put up by the powers that be that diet cannot improve our lot (as pontificated by PHE recently) Rather than banging on about causes, the media should instead help us deal with it. There is a need for more support for initiatives like LCHF, Newcastle Diet, Fasting diets, et al. I am fed up with people in media saying glibly to exercise more, without demonstrating how much is needed to work off a doughnut, say. (Apologise if my language offends anyone, but duffnuts used to be a staple of office life). Doing a crossword puzzle uses up more glucose than a walk round the block, The walk is just to keep our muscles working, and is an inefficient tool for bgl control (IMHO)
To end the suspense, the following will answer the question I asked above
