[QUOTE="AM1874, post: 1426373, member: 379847"] Hi [USER=180221]@carol43[/USER] I sort of agree with you .. at a knee-jerk level .. but I think that his "headline-grab" that T2 is not a real disease can be considered in a number of ways .. # an overly simplistic recognition that an unhealthy lifestyle is a key contributor to T2 # a pretty dramatic analysis and summary of what's happening in society today # a somewhat crude attempt to open up a re-assessment and re-evaluation of the causes, prognosis and treatment of T2 Some would say that this is also .. # a tool that he is using to sell his new book My question is .. "Since a lot of T2s are already given information on diet and testing etc, that is, at best, debatable and at worst, useless .. and furthermore, are already stigmatised, will Muir Gray's claim actually make any difference. I disagree with him and his claim but, for me, this is another case of listen(read), nod, smile, ignore .. [/QUOTE]
