  I read that article and I think it is not completely honest and gives a wrong impression to those people with type 2 diabetes - like me.
  
  I lost 2 1/2 stone in the summer and looked and felt better for it (apart from 6 days in hospital !). I have been diabetic for around 23 years and my blood sugar is reasonably well controlled; the last blood-sugar test I took, the other day, it was 4.4, but it is usually around 6 or 7.
  
  I have been told that I still have to go on to daily insulin injections and quite soon too, no matter how low my blood-sugar readings are.
  
  With insulin converting the body's glucose/sugar to energy, so that you don't have high blood-sugar levels, I'd have thought that my system is working reasonably well, but apparantly not.
  That's why these kind of articles don't help much. I read somewhere else a couple of years ago that I could virtually do away with diabetes if I lost weight and exercised more - seems not.
