[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2204048, member: 41816"] ‘Type 2 Diabetes’ is often used as an umbrella term for anyone showing high blood glucose who isn’t easily and cheaply diagnosed with another type of diabetes. So there are many T1s and T3cs, LADAs, MODYs, drug induced, Bronze diabetics (and others) who are lumped in with those T2s whose insulin resistance and beta cell failure is affected by fat in the liver and pancreas. While I applaud Professor Taylor’s work, I find it endlessly frustrating that many consider his work to apply to all ‘Type 2s’. No. It applies to those people with liver and pancreas fat, whose beta cells can return to function if that fat is removed. There are many, many people classed as ‘type 2’ for whom weight loss is not going to improve their blood glucose control. Indeed, the extreme diet often used to achieve such weight loss may be extremely unhelpful, especially to a patient who didn’t need to lose pancreas and liver fat in the first place. [/QUOTE]
