Another article in the Daily mail, his time by a Doctor Michael Mosley regarding Diabetes not being a "disease" He agrees with Sir Muir Gray about treating diabetes with diet and exercise. I can actually believe it to be possible. When I was told back in Mid November about my diabetes,I immediately started on my diet and exercise regime and came down to 13.5 Stone from just over 15 stone. My blood glucose and pressure levels came down to acceptable readings. At that time I was on 1 Metaformin and 1 Simvastan tablet a day. Now I am on 4xmetaformin, 1 simvastan and 1 Ramopril per day. I can`t help wondering, are the extra tablets really necessary? Also, is it possible that if anybody takes any kind of tablet for any condition over a period of time, that their body could put an unnecessary reliance on the tablets? KennySir Muir Gray an eminent Doctor who is on several advisory boards of the NHS and has a couple of Honorary Professorships from several Universities has claimed that Type 2 is not a real disease but a walking syndrome condition which can be largely treated by diet and walking,and in a few cases it probably can be. He also claims that millions of pounds year is spent on needless medication. Not many people in the Medical World seem to agree with him. He has been slated for giving many Type 2 diabetics the idea that they can give up medication and rely on diet and exercise.There are 3.6 million app. Type 2s in the UK.For myself,I will keep taking my medication until told by doctors to stop.

Well, to be honest I really don't care whether it's a disease or a condition. I've got it and I don't like it.That made me look up the definition to see what constituted a disease and I got this.
"noun
1.
a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, orsystem of the body resulting from the effect of genetic ordevelopmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness;sickness; ailment."
It seems if something breaks due to a nutritional deficiency then it is a disease.
A logical attitude Harpo. I also have it and I wish I did my best to manage it but I stray.Well, to be honest I really don't care whether it's a disease or a condition. I've got it and I don't like it.
I do my best to manage it - LCHF, a fair amount of exercise, prescribed medication and so on.....and I still don't like it.
Human nature to stray I think Squire - and plenty that don't admit itA logical attitude Harpo. I also have it and I wish I did my best to manage it but I stray.
Case in point Sir Steve Redgrave diagnosed while actively engaged in his sport.Yep, and what about all the slim and/or energetic type 2's? ; )

Doesnt he still sponsor Cornflakes?Case in point Sir Steve Redgrave diagnosed while actively engaged in his sport.
I'm sure it's not a disease, it can't be caught or transmitted from person to person. It's a condition that can be managed, to some extent, by diet, exercise and medication. This is what I've been led to believe and, until I'm given substantive evidence to the contrary, it's what I'll continue to believe.
Your point being. what ever he promotes or does not promote he is a T2 diabetic who became so while leading an active life.Doesnt he still sponsor Cornflakes?

The same applies to Billie Jean King and Smoking Joe Frazier. I'm sure they got paid for promoting various things the ethics of that is another matter.
Put his book in the smallest room in the house - someone will find a wee use for it. OR tear the pages out and hang them on a nail next to the throne - then wait for the penny to drop.He is a real medical doctor. When I looked him up though, google described him as an author. He is bringing out a book about diabetes being "walking deficiency syndrome" and not a disease. I don't know who his target market for this book is to be honest. I wouldn't buy it, but then I live in a smokeless zone.
