The Type 2 appears to be very weight connected. The Medics are a regimented lot, self focused and will not shift easily from dubious positions. Mate of mine , closing in on 100kg was diagnosed with type 2. Completely mishandled by the Company Medic & given no management.The statins & some other drug nearly killed him. He did drop to 97kg though. He ditched the medicine but was forced into early retirement for other reasons. Bronchitis and pneumonia nearly saw him off in the first year of retirement but he dropped weight to 85kg. He hardly ate during a further round of bronchitis the following winter & a near starvation regime caused by lack of apetite saw him drop to 78kg. He is holding now at 75kg. Completely clear of type2. He suggests that the periods of starvation probably reversed the condition. We could draw a graph showing 100kg to start opposite type 2 with medication. No change for a while & then ditches the medication. But, with time & starvation routine, very steady weight loss & final result of no type 2. He looks better now than I have ever seen him & still pulls the chicks.
Medics ? Shame on the ones who haven't a clue & give the good ones' a bad name.
