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

Message: <blockquote data-quote="KennyA" data-source="post: 2602107" data-attributes="member: 517579">It's a bit of a red flag when numbers in this study are very small and percentages of percentages are quoted without mentioning the actual numbers involved at each point.  It seems also that some sources are giving 149 as the number of participants while elsewhere (eg the Times story) the 298 figure is quoted.  Percentages are also slightly tweaked. It's possible that this is all the fault of the media's reporting - and that's possible - but the media normally just print what the press release says, so I suspect this is deliberate obfuscation. It seems that it would be equally valid to say that 93% of people in this study either never achieved remission,  or maintained remission to the five year point. But no headlines in that and probably no NHS contracts either.</blockquote>
