Sometimes it's not down to losing the argument, it's simply down to frustration in dealing with people who only post for their own benefit: who try to boost their own ego by picking holes (or trying to) in everybody else's post and thus in their minds demonstrating their own (falsely believed) superiority.
in reality, those people are normally somewhat inadequate in some major aspect of their lives.
Simple fact is, Stephen is a long standing, well respected member of the forum who has always done his best to help others with his undoubted knowledge, and engage in entertaining discussion and banter. Angeleyes isn't.

I think things get confused when people talk about succesful weight loss, and maintaining normal blood sugars with a "near normal" diet, or "reversing" diabetes by having normal BGs when on reduced carbs and so on.
Good though all these things are, to me, the only way which would enable a person to say "I'm cured" is to pass a couple of glucose tolerance tests at a proper clinic or hospital.
That's not to say people don't get great benefits from these programs, and if that's the aim (eg weight loss) then that's fine. It's the "cure" part and how you define it that concerns me.
Personally, I think it perhaps IS possible for a person who is diabetic as a result of insulin resistance through obesity, AND is diagnosed early on, to "cure" their diabetes through rapid weight loss if they can achieve it before their Beta cells are damaged. Also personally, I don't think you CAN cure it once the diabetes is established and Pancreatic damage has set in. Bit like the difference between pre-diabetes and full diabetes; I suppose I'm suggesting that it's in the realms of possibility that someone who has just crossed from pre to full could still affect a cure. But I don't know. I just believe that we need PROPER testing before cures are claimed
