[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 5055, member: 718"] As a doctor, it would be useful to separate medicine in general from the pharmaceutical business. Both are linked, but are not the same. In the UK we are blessed with one of the worlds greated and open health care systems. However, it takes time to change the collective professional opinion. Most diabetologists (including mine) describe Type 2 diabetes as a lifestyle disease. I know my complications are in my own hands and my behaviour will affect my lifespan and quality of life. It does irritate me that professional dietary advice potentially exaserabates my lifestyle disease. To be so tarred with that brush only to find the same professionals firing up the next batch of tar is mildly ironic. There is so much more to illucidate about the pathophysiology of diabetes. The GLP-1 type drugs almost scare diabetologists as it doesn't fit into the lifestyle disease picture that well. Also, gastric bypass surgery, seems to be the only medical cure for type 2 diabetes. Patients often completely stop insulin the day after surgery, no time for weight loss to have its effect on insulin resistance. There is much more to the incretin hormone pathways than is known.
