I have just picked up a news story that claims in Australia they are claiming that what they refer to as the European style treatments for diabetes type 2, which is diet and exercise are not working for Aborigines. They feel it is at epidemic levels and that Aborigines there will be wiped out by the end of the century.
I for one find this story very hard to believe since I have diabetes type 2, and I know for a fact that when I adhere to my diet and exercise my sugar goes down and is under control. So what is the answer?
I could certainly be wrong, but could it be that they are simply not doing the exercise and proper diet? In the USA that has been the reason why so many diabetics are on pills and insulin, because they simply won’t or can’t change their lifestyle habits and it’s easier for them just to rely on medicine.
This will be an interesting story to follow and see what the doctors and researchers there conclude.
