I got half way through, but gave up to be honest. This was focusing purely on those taking drugs, which I never have), and almost dismissed lifestyle changes as only achieving an improvement on around 0.9% improvement in HbA1c.
Professor Holme is also formerly Vice President of the NICE Appraisal Committee, so he didn't start in a great place for me. In that capacity he would have been firmly implicated with the promotion of the "Healthy Plate" version of lifestyle changes, I'm not surprised the HbA1c improvements were modest, using the healthy plate. New hear that all the time, on here. My own experience, which is mirrored by many on here, is that cutting the carbs we eat has a much greater impact that 0.9%. My own numbers are in my signature.
The best thing he said, during the time I was listening, was to reinforce the importance of gaining blood glucose control early, and continuing with it. Not waiting for matters to escalate, or easing back after an initially decent period.
I'd be fascinated to hear a debate involving Professor Rot Taylor, also of Newcastle Uni, whose approach appears to be significantly different. I wonder if that ever happens.
So, sorry I have nothing more meaningful to report. I didn't find the content particularly technically different, although his references to the generic drug classes, rather than the brand names we might recognise made me think a bit to start with.
Thanks for the link.
