Yes, Garry, it is quite an interesting article and well written in a
Time/AOL sort of way with its kind of Reader's Digest style of patronising.

Well done for posting the scans. It's an absolute scandle that Time
expect readers to pay to read what could be potentially life saving
information on line - part of the article deals well with symptoms to
look out for prior to Dxing and I suspect it could enlighten a
substantial number of readers to get tested. As a subscriber, a letter
of complaint will be sent.

That's the most interesting thing I've read in ages.

Sounds like good news on the horizon for us type 1's, but they don't paint a
very good picture for type 2's do they? God, having diabetes really sucks.

Thanks for posting that - very interesting reading.

Time have a bloody cheek asking for money!!!

Thank You Garry for scanning that.

It was very interesting, even after everything prior I've
read. Nice to see new different info. On the subject of
Insulin Resistance, boy this is true! The guy that figures
it out should win the Nobel. Both my mother and sister
were/are severely obese. Before my natural mother passed
of liver failure she was in excess of 400lbs.

My sister who is 280lbs has a GTT done yearly. She has
been that weight for 15yrs. She also comes out well within
normal limits.

LOL poor me.. the skinny fool of the bunch.. and ends up
a T1. go figure? So... guess it can and cannot be genetic all
the time.

There is an error on page 6, though: the article claims metformin
stimulates insulin production, whereas in fact it improves insulin
sensitivity and does not stimulate insulin production.
