A sedentary lifestyle and an excessively rich diet damage the beta cells of the pancreas

i.e., self-inflicted. My father saw his condition progressively worsen over 12 years until he was taking insulin for the past 5 or so years.

He recently had an injury which required a rehabilitation facility term while he healed to the point of home care discharge.

I predicted that he would be off insulin before he came home, but I was egregiously wrong about the timeline:

He was off insulin in 2 weeks and achieved normal blood sugar levels in 3.

There is no excuse for T2 diabetes. My words for it always fall on deaf ears ("one foot in the grave"), thus I've adopted a more harsh term for T2D:

Suicide

How did he normalize his blood sugar, when those facilities feed tons of carbs and people don’t move?
