Long time lurker, first post. CNN article on IF helping reverse diabetes, featuring Dr. Fung. Disturbing that they give just as much press to people not involved at all with the study as they did to him, but its a start.

That’s not disturbing at all, it’s good journalism. Vastly better to have a variety of voices, assuming they’re not all just screaming at each other. Good article all round, I thought.
Gabbay, who was not involved in the new report, calls this a “remission” of diabetes rather than “cure” because, “as far as we know, it’s still worthwhile having a yearly eye exam, having a screening for kidney disease and nerve damage, even in those people that normalize their blood sugars, because they may be at continued risk.”
“Although, honestly, there aren’t enough of those people to know.”
Sure would be nice to have the studies but who wants to pay for a study that doesn’t pay them back, right ?
