Another Dr. Dhand video smashing Type 2 diabetes and Big Pharma

Normally got more sense than to look at this sort of stuff but clicked on this one just to see what the current flavour looks like.

Stopped watching after 1:13. If he is going to talk oversimplified guff in his opening remarks, what chance the rest of it being of any value?
 
You did good stopping at that point.
He gets worse.
Shockng video.
 
After the first minute I moved it to the mid-section and he was oversimplifying Type II totally. I know a number of Type IIs, one around 45 years in, and I will not mention this to them.
 
I rode it out for the 9.5 minutes. The abrasive acoustics in that sparse staged spare room didn’t help my hangover.
He wasn’t really talking to me. But it seemed it was more a sales pitch than advice.
 
Does the doctor not raise some valid points? Giving up processed foods for whole fresh food and why give more insulin as a treatment when there is already more insulin than the body can make use of.
 
oh dear….

In answer to your question, I've no idea but the nonsense spoken in the first minute is enough to say It's very unlikely.

PS. The like on the post was due to finger trouble on my part and I cannot find a way to get rid of it!!!!!!!!!
 
ive clicked unlike there

Because the reality is far more complex:

Insulin Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes

Another reason for a more rapid response to treatment failure is that lowering glycemia has been shown to improve insulin resistance as well as endogenous insulin secretion (23). This was recently confirmed by Weng et al. (24) who found that a brief course of insulin therapy in subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes not only restored, but also maintained, β-cell function, resulting in prolonged glycemic remission. Interestingly, remission rates were significantly higher in the intensive insulin groups than in the intensive oral therapy group.

T2s don't produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance, and the high level doesn't mean we're good a producing lots of it, it's a side effect of high blood sugar leading to constant production of whatever beta cells are still working. Many people have IR and don't all develop diabetes.

Only this is true “lowering glycemia has been shown to improve insulin resistance as well as endogenous insulin secretion” But the rest is meaningless, they compared insulin to other medicine, like saying drinking alcohol is healthier than smoking (or the other way around, fortunately I don’t know).

Nothing increases your chance for remission more than not using glucose lowering drugs and this isn’t from some obscure Chinese study sponsored by Novo Nordisk and Roche Diagnostics, but from an analysis of all adults in Scotland aged ≥30 years diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and alive on December 31, 2019 (n=162.316).
In fact not using glucose lowering drugs increases your chance for remission even more than bariatric surgery.

Epidemiology of type 2 diabetes remission in Scotland in 2019: A cross-sectional population-based study

Factors associated with remission were:

older age (odds ratio [OR] 1.48 [95% CI 1.34 to 1.62] P < 0.001)
HbA1c <48 mmol/mol at diagnosis (OR 1.31 [95% CI 1.24 to 1.39] P < 0.001)
no previous history of GLT (OR 14.6 [95% CI 13.7 to 15.5] P < 0.001),
weight loss from diagnosis to 2019 (OR 4.45 [95% CI 3.89 to 5.10] P < 0.001)
and previous bariatric surgery (OR 11.9)


Of course you can always have a chicken and egg discussion about this if you don't want to believe it.

im confused. Nothing lowers your chances than not using glucose lowering drugs .
Are you saying just doing low carb no meds is best ?
 
The lack of history of GLT prescription had a particularly strong association with remission. GLT is likely to be a marker for sustained hyperglycaemia or higher levels of glycaemia, but may also be an independent factor that decreases the risk of remission. Further research is required to investigate whether GLT has a causal relationship with failure to achieve remission.

This isn’t quite:

”Nothing increases your chance for remission more than not using glucose lowering drugs and this isn’t from some obscure ”

The link between lack of GLT and remission may well be due to lower hba1c at diagnosis, which increases the chances of remission.
 
So if your HbA1c is 108 is it best to have medication?
