Anything from watching what you eat & taking regular exercise, through that plus taking oral medication to injecting insulin, depending on the form it takes in any particular case. The treatment *has* to be tailored to suit the person.

"Diabetes was cured in 92%." -- Bariatric Surgeon
Source:
Obes Surg. 2007 Nov;17(11):1421-30.
Department of Surgery, Laval University, Laval Hospital, Québec, Canada. picard.marceau@chg.ulaval.ca
BACKGROUND: This report summarizes our 15-year experience with duodenal switch (DS) as a primary procedure on 1,423 patients from 1992 to 2005. METHODS: Within the last 2 years, follow-up of these patients, including clinical biochemistry evaluation by us or by their local physician is 97%. RESULTS: Survival rate was 92% after DS. The risk of death (Excess Hazard Ratio (EHR)) was 1.2, almost that of the general population. After a mean of 7.3 years (range 2-15), 92% of patients with an initial BMI < or = 50 kg/m2 obtained a BMI < 35 and 83% of those with an initial BMI > 50 obtained a BMI < 40. Diabetes was cured (i.e. medication was discontinued) in 92% and medication decreased in the others. The use of the CPAP apparatus was discontinued in 90%, medication for asthma was decreased in 88%, and the prevalence of a cardiac risk index > 5 was decreased by 86%. Patients' satisfaction in regard to weight loss was graded 3.6 on a basis of 5, and 95% of patients were satisfied with the overall results. Operative mortality was 1% which is comparable with gastric bypass surgery. The need for revision for malnutrition was rare (0.7%) and total reversal was exceptional (0.2%). Failure to lose > 25% of initial excess weight was 1.3%. Revision for failure to lose sufficient weight was needed in only 1.5%. Severe anemia, deficiency in vitamins or bone damage were exceptional, easily treatable, preventable and no permanent damage was documented. CONCLUSION: In the long-term, DS was very efficient in terms of cure rate for morbid obesity and its comorbidities. In terms of risk/benefit, DS was very sucessful with an appropriate system of follow-up.

I'll take that as no, then.
Let me rephrase what I said.
Has *anybody* ever been cured of diabetes mellitus type 2 by following your advice without needing additional treatments? If so, please provide a pointer to information on this cure.

The more you post in the diabetic newsgroups, the more you expose your ignorance, & the more you turn people away from your belief system.
Also, just cutting & pasting the same reply to every post makes you look either like someone with mental health problems or an incompetent.
As a claimed cardiologist, please restrict yourself to posting in groups where your knowledge may have some relevance.

Who? Jim Chinnis would be someone you might possibly know from his participation here on usenet especially in ASD.
He was headed toward needing glucose-lowering medications until he started eating less though he has at times erroneously credited the turn-around to low-carbing.
We know it is not the latter because there are many who low-carb without curing their underlying insulin resistance (IR/MetS) as has reportedly occurred in Jim's case.
Then there are many of my patients, whose names I can not legally disclose because of appropriate HIPAA privacy laws:

Reply to author | Forward | Print | View thread | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author I have now lost a few more pounds. I am at 145. I was at 188 in 2001 and had maintained around 165 from 2002 through early 2007. I was about 148 at age 18. (I'm now 63.)
I thought I was "normal" weight at 160 or so. So did my friends. But I was on two blood pressure medications plus Lipitor and then tested my bg last April and discovered fbgs at around 116 and near-diabetic response to glucose/carbs.
Having lost about 15 pounds now, my fbg is 80-86 every morning and my response to a moderately high-carb (35 g) breakfast is a 1-hr PP bg of about 100. It can still be elevated (100) at 2 hrs PP, but is back at 80-85 within 3 hrs..
Part of the change (about 10 points) is due to dropping atenolol. But the bulk is due to the 15 pound drop in weight.
I need to reduce the remaining bp drug, as my bp is getting on the low side. I may drop the Lipitor after my next blood lipids are taken.
Just one data point having to do with the powerful weight effects (of those "last few pounds") on blood pressure, glucose, and lipids. -- Jim Chinnis Warrenton, Virginia, USA

That is not a new concept.
No one agrees that eating 2 lbs of food per day is the way to acheive the above goal. No one has ever seen any documentation that this approach is successful in maintaining healthy weight. It's a concept you've been tooting your own horn about for > 10 years, and all you have in return is well -deserved ridicule. The Everest Climbers didn't eat just two pounds per day and the Bible never said that an omer weighed two pounds.
STFU already, Chung. You have been proven a liar too many times to count. Do you enjoy this ridicule and abuse? If so, not only are you suffering from ego-syntonic, regressed, narcissistic personality disorder and delusions, but you are also a masochist.
Now go ahead and "boldly write" more lies.
