We're only now just waking up to the reality that type-2 diabetes can be reversed w/ carbohydrate restriction, even though the data to support that has been around for decades. I don't think a decade is an unusual latency for the medical institution to lay idle on.

- will_brown 8y ago>We're only now just waking up to the reality that type-2 diabetes can be reversed w/ carbohydrate restriction I don’t think this is a new/recent revelation at all (and in fairness, I cut the next part of your quote that acknowledges decades old research). And while not all cases of type 2 can be reversed (most can) but maybe more importantly 100% of cases can be prevented through diet/exercise.
- Baeocystin 8y ago>100% of cases can be prevented through diet/exercise. Is that accurate? Honest question. I know adult onset diabetes is strongly linked to obesity, but would have thought there are other potential causes as well.
- anon104 8y agoThis is 100% wrong. There are cases of monogenic type 2 diabetes (e.g MODY) which has a similar inheritance as the Alzheimer's case in the story. Though rare, it certainly refutes the 100% assertion.
