What ever happened to just eating right and exercising? This isn't rocket science.

You're right. There's no way the amount of sugar in the diet has any relevance when treating a disease of glucose intolerance. Why don't all of those silly diabetics try to treat themselves by following the food pyramid. WAIT! They have been!

As far as exercise goes, it does help to lower blood sugar, but it can only help so much. It cannot counteract the havoc that a high carb diet wreaks.

Every single Type II diabetic I know has overaten their way into developing it. Many could control their diabetes through execise and proper nutrition and choose not to do so (they'd rather not change their behavior and rely on drugs). I don't know anyone who's overweight and eats right and exercises.
