I find the terminology of 'cure' for diabetes distracting, if not confusing. My understanding is that type-2 diabetes has a genetic component and environmental component (typically obesity). You can treat the obesity and assuage the symptoms, but the genetic component/risk remains and if obesity returns, the symptoms would likely return. Since these hormones don't change the genetic risk, it is a treatment which can have lasting effects, but unless obesity is suppressed, it is no cure. Also, the symptoms can happen without obesity and this wouldn't be a cure for them, but could be a treatment. Anybody know otherwise?
