You can mitigate the effects of Type 2 diabetes. That's not the same thing as curing it. The effects will almost certainly re-occur if you stop the behavior you are using to mitigate it (which is generally low carbs, low calories, exercise, etc).
- imtringued 4y agoYou can mitigate the effects of a cookie dough induced salmonella infection. That is not the same as curing it. The effects will almost certainly re-occur if you stop the behaviour you are using to mitigate it (which is generally not eating raw cookie dough every single week). You can go for decades or even a lifetime without remission but the moment you take a bite out of that raw cookie do prepare yourself for a salmonella infection.
- RHSeeger 4y agoThat is so ridiculously not the same thing. The point is that Diabetes Type 2 is effectively insulin resistance; your body doesn't use insulin as well as it should (though it's more complicated than that). You can mitigate the effects of this by living a life where you don't need as much insulin (lower card, exercise, etc). But no matter what you do, your body still has a "defect" that causes it to not process (and eventually, generate) insulin as well as someone else. A better analogy would be a transplant. Just because you are on immunosuppressants to prevent your body from rejecting the new organ doesn't mean you've "cured" yourself of that rejection; you're just mitigating/preventing the impact of it.
