How would this be reconciled with significant weight loss often being a symptom of type 2 diabetes?
- dpatru 8y ago> How would this be reconciled with significant weight loss often being a symptom of type 2 diabetes? I don't know, but here is my guess: At the beginning of the lecture McDougall talks about there being three kinds of diabetes: type 1 (pancreas produces no insulin), type 2 (pancreas produces enough insulin, but it doesn't work because of insulin resistance), type 1.5 (not enough insulin is being produced to cover the body's needs). Significant weight loss seems to fit in the type 1 and type 1.5. McDougall will prescribe insulin if a person is in danger of losing too much weight.
