“On what plan? It seems like the standard treatment makes it worse - and the science backs that up?”

Here’s what happened. People with Type 1 diabetes basically had a death sentence and rarely made it to adulthood. Early on, for both Type 1 and Type 2, they had figured out what eating less carbs meant lower blood sugar, and that was a good thing (they knew this by smelling urine for ‘sweetness’, with ‘sweetness’m meaning they had super high blood sugar, and they knew that healthy people didn’t have ‘sweet’ smelling urine). This lasted until about 100 years ago.

Then insulin was discovered and isolated, and it was a godsend to Type 1’s as it meant they could live near-normal lives.

At the same time, for Type 2’s, they also ‘forgot’ their early treatments, since insulin also brought down their blood sugar levels.

So problem solved for both types, except one small detail - no one bothered to check if insulin injections help Type 2’s in the long run by preventing the debilitating complications that arise. If they had bothered checking, they would have realized that the injections provided no improvement, and possibly make things worse, and definitely made things worse than going primarily on a low-carb diet, and then (maybe) taking drugs and insulin, but at much lower levels.

But why bother checking on whether people are being helped by the standard ‘treatment’, since the standard ‘treatment’ was bringing so many people into ‘the system’, for the rest of their lives?
