Re: Beating type 2 diabetes into remission

That is an ongoing article around the risk of obesity.
The risk not only Diabetes 2 but also hypertension, cardio-vascular diseases, gastro - intestinal and gall bladder diseases in addition to musclo-skeletal system . The subject of nutrition with regard to body requirement for the quality and quantity of food is unknown in the education in schools or university.
We need in UK and all over the world a new educated generation to adjust the food and drink intake.
Even within the health professionals doctors and nurses obesity is alarming.
By combating obesity this can have a huge impact on NHS budget, the economy of the country
and the whole world in addition to improving health and quality of life.
