[QUOTE="Buster_, post: 2436588, member: 527600"] He didn't say he [B]preferred[/B] lifestyle over pharmaceuticals, he said lifestyle changes were [B]more effective[/B] than drugs, which we all know to be true: none of the drugs commonly in use will put a type 2 into remission but weight loss and a low carb diet very well might. He's simply acknowledging that not everyone understands or is willing to adopt and maintain the necessary dietary changes, thereby making drugs the only control option for that (probably very large) group. I think people are getting unnecessarily offended over the A-levels thing too. Some people seem to have incorrectly interpreted his comment as "You thicko's without exams are too stupid to look after yourselves", but again, that's not what he said. He's a highly trained scientist and he shared a clinical observation, reporting that of the patients he encounters, those with a lower level of education tend to take their condition far less seriously than graduates. Why get offended at this fact? [/QUOTE]
