What a waste of a one year study possibly sponsored by Slim Fast:In type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't respond properly to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar.To me that sounds like insulin resistance.Their portion-controlled diets included liquid meal replacements or structured meal plans. Those participants were encouraged to walk or get other physical activity at home.The keys here are the good old portion-control or will power plus exercise-- nothing new here.

When will they "Look AHEAD" to reducing the processed carbohydrates that stimulate insulin release and foster resistance?
