How did things get so bad? The past, present and future of diabetes type-2
Peter Mansfield
Good Health Keeping, UK
T
his paper relates the history of diabetes type-2, from the beginning of settled farming and explains why there has from
the 1950s until recently been so little emphasis on the prevention and reversal of the disease. Pilots and others in the
early stages of diabetes have reversed their condition permanently by limiting carbohydrate intake. With little or no glucose
in the blood, there is no diabetic challenge. Carbohydrate intake has in the past year been linked by nutritional academics
with diabetes risk. Carbohydrate restriction is the underlying principle of several diets. The Atkins diet undermines blood
lipids and insulin response to a glucose load. The Paleolithic diet goes further by additionally limiting dairy produce. Food
combining and the Montignac diet, separate fat and starch which makes weight gain impossible. All are mutually compatible.
The prize that motivates the pilot is unrestricted certification as fit to fly. The general public has no such motivation, so diabetes
is unnecessarily prevalent. We need to develop charges, no-claims discounts or tax incentives to encourage the general public
to follow the pilot's example.
