| I agree with what the ariticle says..but in reality...I dont think anyone really knows. Medicine is science...Science is based on hypothesis....which is a bunch of educated guesses..Cancer is progressive if not treated..Diabetes is certainly progressive if not treated...but with the right treatment...it may not go away..but the long term damage can be reduced or eliminated..
Over the last 2 months since my diagnosis, I have read many articles on diabetes. I am definately no expert, but the more I read, the more I realize that the medical industry in large doesnt know either. I am sure there are specialists that no more than your average endo, but over all...they are clueless. This can be proven by reading some of the posts on this web site. The endos seem to give conflicting information about how to treat the disease.
My father is a type 2 for 35 years...he is 76...treats it with diet and excercise and has had no complications from it..His A1C is below 6... My grandmother died at 98 with type 2 and no complications...(or none that I was aware of)
I have read articles that tell of people that clinically do not have diabetes any more. I dont know how much of these strories I believe, but it certainly makes you question how much the medical profession really knows about this disease...  |
