Diabetes successfully treated using ultrasound in preclinical study

That is the most useless piece of information I've ever heard of as a treatment for T2. If i were a T2 I wouldn't be carting around an ultrasound machine (which needs mains power) all day. I'd rather fix my diet and take tablets if necessary, it's far less bother.
