xMenace, any explanation for that one? He sure seems to have stopped any progression. I'm not saying he is typical, probably far from it, but he is on no meds after 35yrs, wow! |
IMO you can have type 2 symptoms without being in steep decline as shown by that graph. Typically these people are grossly overweight but not necessarily so. Losing all that weight can virtually eliminate the condition. In reality, everyone's pancreas is shutting down. Given enough time, everyone would become diabetic. Some have steep declines, most diagnosed type 2's, and others have gentle slopes.
Said gentlemen have underproducing pancreases but with very small declines in production. Anomolies. There's no separate classification for them, and that makes generalizations impossible.
