I mean roughly in reference to the underlying mechanism it directly addresses, not all the downstream effects. And even that was, admittedly, sloppy, because there's some complex feedback loops involved. I guess it would be more accurate to say it is a maintenance medicine and not a complete cure, and so stopping taking it unmasks the continuing condition that is treating.

- Auracle 1y agoI mean, yeah. You could always just lose weight and probably get out of being prediabetic.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> just lose weight This might be the left-wing analog of climate denialism.
- tanjtanjtanj 1y agoWhat does the left-wing or more broadly, political philosophy have to do with that statement?
- Auracle 1y agoIt's not like it's impossible unmedicated. Plenty of people have and will do it. Obviously most people are unable to. I was always surprised just how few prediabetics did though.
