Non Surgical Methods
Mentioned only to indicate the very low success rates:
Tablets alone have never cured Type 2 diabetes.
Infact, they generally cause weight increase and exacerbate the condition by increasing insulin resistance.
Which necessitates the need for additional or higher doseages of medication.
Excercise and diet have such a low success rate in reducing weight and resolving diabetes that studying whole populations are required to produce any meaningful data.
Research such presented in "Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice" produced the following results when comparing patients randomised to nothing or diet and exercise: "Overall weight (−1.5% versus 0%, p=0.06) and fitness changes (5.4% versus 1.5%, p=0.18) were not significantly different between these groups"
To quote Diabetes.co.uk "Cures for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have proved elusive. The root causes and mechanism behind both forms of the disease are becoming more clearly understood all the time. By correcting bodily resistance to insulin, cures for both types of the disease are possible, but neither have been realised in a widespread sense."
Clearly, they do not hold the same degree of optimism over the treatment of their disease!
