Akuperma,
as usual you are running your mouth without any knowledge of what you are talking about. Type II diabetes is a disease. Once you have it, changing you lifestyle only helps to control it. At the present time there is no “cure.”

Vegetables, fruits, fiber rich foods and exercise cost nothing, and have only good side effects (unless you are a doctor or a drug company). Giving up sweetened foods and drinks also saves you money.

The dept. of health decided to lower the blood glucose and A1C thresholds that now define being a diabetic. More than a third of high blood sugar cases that used to be called “pre-diabetes” are now classified as full fledged diabetes. And its staggering that the incidents of diabetes went up? Follow the money trail to pharma and meds to figure out why. A blood glucose monitor will run you twenty bucks, but a month supply of measuring strips costs over a hundred. Its worse than toner cartridges or keurig coffee!!!

Is it truely a “disease.” One can argue that Type 2 diabetes is nothing more than a set of symptoms related to being overweight and having insufficent exercise (or as the goyim would say, being a fat couch potato), and then changing lifestyle by becoming thin and physically fit will “cure” the “disease.”
