<p>Aan important point ,missed - surely with type II the important factor and one in which lifestyle plays a ley role is preventing the disease in the first place.</p>

<p>I think that the heading should distinguish between Type 1 (to which the article does not apply) and Type 2 Diabetes?</p> <p>No amount of exercise or medication will 'halt' Type 2 Diabetes.</p>

<p>Public realm, the article states the opposite and so will most enlightened Endo's. A healthy lifestyle and exercise is exactly what will halt type II.</p> <p>It is different of course for type I</p>

<p>Anon 12:05</p> <p>Sorry my Typo - I meant no amount of exercise or medication will 'halt' Type 1 - of course the opposite applies to Type 2</p>

<p>Hi PublicRealm - yes that's what I was thinking.</p> <p>With type I the pancreas doesn't produce any insulin so there is no means to change that without something like islet transplant which is only in exploratory stages but in type II, the pancreas doesn't produce sufficient insulin</p>
