I believe that most T2s ( around 80%?) suffering insulin resistance can be prevented from noticeable progression with time by having the right diet and exercise. The NHS' and general bad diet advice will make a proportion of those progress. The 20% who are not overweight but still labelled T2 contains a range of conditions of which LADA is a noticeable factor if forum postings and my own experience is anything to go by. Many/most of these will progress due to a declining pancreas for a range of reasons; antibody destruction being a major factor. If the NHS was a lot better at separating out the types beyond T1/T2 it would make it easier to direct the right treatment regime. Yes, diet and exercise always apply but the right meds regime for each group might slow decline rather than today's relative HCP guesswork (well, mine was!)</p></blockquote><p></p>
