[QUOTE="janeecee, post: 410827, member: 45332"] The fact is Connie, many T2 diabetics are overweight on diagnosis. The figure often quoted is that 80% of T2s are overweight or obese, and the blanket advice to T2 and people at risk assumes that weight loss is an important part of treatment and/or management. If you look at the ND information, Prof Taylor says the most successful participants lost more weight than the less successful participants, although duration since diagnosis was also an important factor. Even if you look at many of the posts on this forum, many people report about their weight loss. People who are not overweight are met with disbelief by the medical profession when they report that they have high blood sugar readings. This has been my experience and also that of Little Wolf. So it works both ways. No-one is outraged about the people of normal and low-normal weight who are not being screened for diabetes because it is assumed that they are not at risk, but in fact are undiagnosed and progressing without realising it.
