Lifestyle change to prevent diabetes has proven to be a tough goal, but there's promising news. At a recent European diabetes meeting, the findings of a large, multinational study were presented. More than 2300 adults with prediabetes, aged 25-70, with an average body mass index of 35 kg/m2, followed a 2-month intensive weight loss program with meal replacements.Just think about, study of how to prevent diabetes. Most important, they got results:

In the end, the type of maintenance intervention didn't matter. Only 4% of the entire group developed diabetes, and 22% no longer had prediabetes.Only 4% out of 2300 developed diabetes withing three years of study. So, life style prevented diabetes development by those 2300 - 4% . Sounds creepy, is not it? Studies show that diabetes was 'prevented'. Even if I will take it as a true then what after 3 years? The meaning of 'prevention' creepy. Why?
In present time there are many high rank officials like to 'safe lives'. In other words, to prevent Death. Is this the same, to 'safe live' and 'to prevent death'? It is obvious, Death cannot be 'prevented'. Sooner or later every one of us eventually will die. It is very obvious in this case. Still, when we read the result of studies, what do we take in mind? That diabetes can be prevented with proper diet, and there is prove, studies. The absurd of the presumption is not obvious. In public eyes there is presumption, diabetes type 2 can be 'prevented' and diabetics type 2 done it for themselves.
The studies were based only on the level of sugar in blood. No one of participants was tested how pancreas looks inside. I posted Yesterday, my sugar was 190 mg/dl fasting. I took regular insulin injections, and today sugar is 78 mg/dl, fasting. It is obvious, there are no big changes in pancreas. My pancreas still the same as it was two days before Yesterday, Yesterday, and Today. If we will take some test, the results will be the same. For instance, if in stead to check up level of sugar it was test how much insulin secreted by my own pancreas. It would be the same amount of units at any of those days.
The activity of my pancreas is low. It cannot supply insulin for my body daily needs. So, I have to add insulin in injections. With this therapy I can function almost normal, take care for myself, and live day after day. But if there is no insulin added in injections, my own pancreas cannot support my daily activity. Even simple breath would be complicated because of absence of energy to spread the lungs.
