RE:RE:RE:Australian TrialThe unmotivated will always flock to a pill to solve their problems (ie. Lipitor). The vast majority of Type 2 DM is related to lifestyle choices. Ergo to prevent diabetes or treat pre-diabetes, the preferred treatment would be to change the diet and exercise. It's the same with heart disease. The diets laden with high fat processed food and refined sugars eaten in supersize quantities are the culprit. This over eating of poor quality foods leads to overweight and obesity and the resultant chronic diseases. The best treatment scenario is to deal with the cause, not try to treat the result.
I doubt that this latest trial will amount to anything. Twenty patients with all the variables to consider, is too small. Just another carrot to dangle.
