Mendosa talks about progressive symptoms not a progressive disease. He never hits the accepted medical theories that as a type 2 your insulin production is decreasing and will continue to. You can't stop that with diet and weight loss.

But you can stop or control the symptoms, and for the progressive symptoms he's so correct. We have it in our power to maintain healthy bodies. I am halting/reversing my complications as many here are, as we all should be.
