[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2490981, member: 196898"] There are classes of patients who get labelled as diabetic or treated as diabetic. PCOS and GD are two that immediately spring to mind. The NICE guidelines when I was DX'ed some 30 years ago was to initiate lifestyle and weight loss program before introducing medication. This is still in the NICE guidelines, and it is not anything new that for some this was all that was necessary - it is a well trod route of old. We know from ND et al that weight loss can lead to remission, so again it is not rocket science, and offers a cheap route to that outcome for the NHS bean counters. My comment was an observation that the study was manned by personnel who worked with the big drug and insulin suppliers, and they would not be celebrating this study or using it in their marketing brochures.
