I was diagnosed with type2 the first of the year. I stopped drinking fizzy drinks and stopped eating all the stuff the literature says not to eat. I also started using an under desk elliptical just after Thanksgiving of last year. I don’t know what they’re talking about, I’ve lost over 80lbs since Thanksgiving. I’m only on metformin and my doctor expects me to be “done” with diabetes by the end of the year.

I’m fairly certain it really is down to diet and exercise for most of us. What I’m doing can hardly be called exercise anyhow, I’m just sitting here like I have my entire life, the only difference is my feet are constantly in motion and maybe for 5 minutes every hour I peddle like I’m being chased by leftists.

I’ll go a bit further and suggest it’s all the processed stuff we’re consuming. People need to go back to making their own meals, which would have the added benefit of wrecking the parasitical chain restaurant industry as well.

I realize I sound like an ex-smoker (which hilariously I am) but I never got on a soapbox about smoking but this fatdemic is stupid beyond words.

My doctor wanted to put me on insulin, ozempic and some other insanely expensive drug and I talked him out of it. He looked like he might have been about to cry at the first follow up because I did what he told me to do, apparently hardly anyone does as they’re told which is why doctors go straight for insulin. I’m convinced the overwhelming majority of people who don’t lose the weight and get their blood sugar under control are stuffing pies in their faces in the middle of the night.
