[QUOTE="BarbaraG, post: 1522028, member: 47277"] Is it just me, or does 'treat it as a lifestyle choice' mean 'blame the people who have it'? Don't get me wrong - I am a great believer in the capacity of lifestyle change to prevent, control and even reverse T2. I am doing my best to reverse my own, even after 19 years with it. However: 1) The article repeats the 'obesity causes IR' model, whereas there is evidence showing the causal relationship is the other way round (IR causes obesity, given the right -or rather the wrong- diet) 2) The dietary advice you would generally get from the NHS under the proposed solution would be low fat, high starch. And while that's better than high sugar, high processed food, it is a long way from optimal. [/QUOTE]
