    This discovery might seem a bit simplistic but for years Peptic ulcers were operated on and many people suffered with them for years before some Australian researchers discovered they were caused by bacteria and could be treated with drugs that killed the bacteria so here's hoping this new treatment works.

    or... you could just get off your lazy a@# and exercise for 45 minutes every other day.

    Unfortunately just exercising may not do it. They are actually putting the body into borderline starvation causing it to use up it's fatty stores. The amount of exercise you would have to do to go into this state would consume your every waking moment.

    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

    and unfortunately just diet alone may not do it.

    in fact it won't do it.

    maybe temporarily it'll reduce your weight, but you'll put it back on later. almost 90% of individuals who lose weight thought dieting put it back on (and more often then not more then before) with in 5 years.

    like my ex, she was 144lbs when we split. i guess she got lazy and now has to be well over 220lbs.

    It is not about losing weight, it is about depleting the fat stores in an internal organ. I know a lot of type 2's that are skinny as a bean pole but that doesn't mean they are healthy. It isn't a diet to control diabetes it is a possible cure by trimming the fat from the organ not the BMI.

    Diet is more important than exercise for controlling type 2 diabetes. Exercise helps because your body burns more carbohydrates when it is being used (this is why you can't just cut carbs out completely). However, it is a whole lot easier to just lower your intake of carbohydrates in the first place.

    Oneslowz28 is following the diabetic diet with 5 to 6 small meals a day. The smaller portions and fewer carbs will make a person loose some weight. I lost 60 pounds in about 4 or 5 months after being diagnosed with type 2. After all that weight was lost, I can control mine with diet alone.

    Keeping that weight off and staying in control with just diet requires a lifestyle change. I am certain that our friend who started this thread can do it.
