Type 2 diabetes is a fully curable disease. And still conventional medicine treat it as the opposite - as a chronic and progressive disease. We try to mask the symptoms and slow down the complications, instead of curing it!
It's quite easy to prove that type 2 diabetes is a curable disease. Have a look at this chart of the number of required drugs for treating the disease, over 12 months on three different treatments in a 2012 study:
The top graph is conventional treatment. Everyone starts out on three different medications and they keep having to take the drugs. This is what we normally do. It simply does not work as a cure and may even make the diabetes worse.
The bottom two graphs are common variants of obesity surgery, where a large (healthy) part of the stomach is removed. Many patients suddenly don't need drugs anymore, their diabetes completely goes away!
The point is not to recommend surgery that removes healthy organs - I don't recommend that. The point it that type 2 diabetes is a fully curable disease. Luckily it's not even necessary to remove healthy organs to do so, it's also possible by just changing your lifestyle.
Here's a longer post on the subject by the great Dr. Jason Fung:
IDM: Surgery Reverses Diabetes - T2D3I just spent a few days with Dr. Fung and we have some really interesting plans. If you're at all interested in this topic I think you'll love what we have coming up soon.
