Quack Quack...



Here's an idea for those who seem to have their minds made up that ANY 'Type' of diabetes can be cured or reversed, especially Type 2. Instead of using words derived from "cure" or "reverse", tell it like it really is.

Here's a headline from a Study from a great resource, DiabetesCare.net, that is a wonderful example of wording that actually fits better "Intensive Weight-Loss Intervention *Linked* with *Increased Chance of* *Partial Remission* from T2 Diabetes". Put aside for a second the fact that it is a VERY important Study published in the JAMA, that contradicts what many have been lead to believe...fat people get diabetes or losing weight cures T2.

Use the word *linked* or *suggests a connection to*...not *causes*.

Go ahead and be truthful by saying *increased chance of*...not *has been proven to*.

Do yourself a favor and NEVER ever [yet] use any forms of the words *cure* or *reverse* in the same sentence as the word *diabetes*. Take the great lead referenced above and say *partial remission* or *helps relieve symptoms of* or *may prevent further complications of*...PLEASE!

Because I can guarantee that the minute you use *cure* or *reverse*, you immediately lose all credibility...and readers.

Here's an excerpt of one of the BEST articles I have read, that explains in great detail, why at the end of the day, in my opinion, it's still diabetes...PERIOD! If it looks like a Duck, walks like a Duck, quacks & craps like a Duck...IT IS!

"There is no cure for diabetes.  The fundamental defect(s) of diabetes remain beyond the reach of being "fixed" by science, let alone by any "holistic" or other approach.  In Type 1 diabetes, the immune system has mistakenly identified insulin-producing pancreatic cells as "foreign" and initiated an ongoing "autoimmune" assault on them, preventing any insulin production, which is necessary for the normal regulation of glucose levels.  In Type 2 diabetes, insulin production has been damaged to the point that either inadequate insulin is produced or insulin forms are produced that are ineffective at regulating glucose." -(Source-http://www.quora.com/Has-any-country-claimed-to-have-found-the-cure-for-diabetes/answer/Patrick-Driscoll-1)
