[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1042935, member: 150927"] As I say - I am very willing to be corrected! But, judging from the promotional material, and the material itself (TV docos, and the book, and the BSD website), and it could be from the producers and publishers - not Mosley himself (although that would take a strange level of passivity on his part in accepting that) - someone is not reporting openly that would clarify the situation, or info about his 'diabetic range' is being misreported. And the misreporting, or misrepresentation could be in order to sell the books. One of the posters above says this could be because the TV docos (on fasting and fast exercise) (where he was not presented as diabetic, but as in danger - which I interpreted as borderline prediabetic - still a scary situation as it indicates early signs of insulin resistance), predates the book considerably. I don't understand this timeline, because 'the end point' of those TV progs is that he improved his insulin sensitivity and got out of the danger zone (via IF and HIT). (Hey! I loved those TV programmes! I love the 12 mins of HIT a month idea!) It could be, of course, that he then went on to cross into prediabetes, and then diabetes. But, you see my point here? What then of the methods, if he actually developed full blown diabetes AFTER IFing and fast exercising? something does not add up! My belief is, it is in the reporting of him having reversed his own diabetes. But in order to know this, we really need to know his HBA1c's eh?! Others disagree, but I think it does matter (it matters to me anyway!), if he is being presented as having had diabetes, and he was never, truly, in the diabetic range. It does not detract from the wonderfulness of bringing the theories of Fung and Taylor and others to the people!
