Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yorksman" data-source="post: 461102" data-attributes="member: 55568">Roy Taylor makes this point in his FAQ about controlling it via weight loss:"This research is in “type 2 diabetes”, the usual common form of diabetes. There are some rare forms of diabetes which may be in correctly called type 2 diabetes:a) Diabetes occurring after several attacks of pancreatitis is likely to be due to direct damage to the pancreas ( known as “pancreatic diabetes”) b) Secondly, people who are slim and are diagnosed with diabetes in their teens and twenties, with a very strong family history of diabetes, may have a genetic form (known as “monogenic diabetes”) c) Thirdly, type 1 diabetes sometimes comes on slowly in adults, and these people usually require insulin therapy within a few years of diagnosis (“slow onset type 1”)None of these will respond in the same way as the common, true type 2 diabetes.So, if you have the common form of type 2 diabetes, this could work for you. However, you should not underestimate just how much change in your day to day life will be necessary to bring this about. It requires motivation and persistence."</blockquote>
