More to your post - yes, this may be a cure for Type ones, but not Type Twos. As I understand it, Type Twos are secreting an unnecessary molecule that binds to the “key” that insulin uses to enter our cells. As far as I know nobody is sure where it comes from or how to stop it. All of the therapies I know about simply flood the bloodstream with enough insulin to overwhelm the blocking molecule. Open to new knowledge though, even at my advanced age.
As an “old” Type 2 patient who was diagnosed 12 or 14 years ago, My testimony is that Type 2 is a disease of numbers.
My diagnosis was made on the basis of lab reports 6 months apart where the blood sugar level exceeded 140 twice in a row. While investigating the diagnosis, I learned that very recently prior to my diagnosis, the level was increased from 126 to 14 a difference of 14 points. The consensus on the threshold number changed
I had no symptoms then nor now other than elevated blood sugar and a high A1c number. Afain not too long ago the A1c threshold was upped to 7.0 for persons my age. The consensus on the threshold number changed.
From the beginning to the present, over the say 12 year period, my weight dropped from 230 to the present 175. I don’t know why. I did not diet or substantially increase exercise.
However, I’m convinced that a body mass index of <130 or 129 directly correlates to a lowered A1c. I have never seriously controlled nor purposely over time decreased carbohydrate or sugar intake. I did resume eating forbidden cholesterol foods like bacon and butter and eggs
Again........ aside from lab report numbers, I have absolutely no symptoms of diabetes Type II
