"Most people with diabetes know the lifestyle changes they need to make to help control their condition but fail to follow through, according to findings of the largest nongovernmental study of its kind.
Nearly nine out of 10 (87%) of 3,867 people with type 2 diabetes surveyed knew that obesity can aggravate their disease. But only 70% said they had tried to lose weight in the previous year. And only one in three indicated they had maintained their desired weight for more than six months."

So 70% have tried to lose weight and only 33% had maintained their desired weight for more than six months.
Therefore (a) 37% of those who are trying are non-compliant or (b) the advice on how to lose weight is ABSOLUTE GIBBERISH.
How many of those who didn't bother to try to lose weight didn't bother because they've tried and failed before?
If you keep giving the same directions and everyone keeps getting lost don't you think you might consider that your directions are no good rather than the people are no good at following your simple directions?
As, an update on my post below Ka-Man has now asked me to 'take this outside' in response to my problems with lying to the emergency services. Ho, ho, ho.

And why would they bother to change when they can just pop a pill? Much safer than that crazy diet that will make your kidneys explode.

"This isn't science. This is thuggery and censorship and dishonesty."
Sparkpeople and Diabetes.co.uk should officially join forces as the Keepers and Defenders of Official Truth.
All we can do is keep spreading the low carb news, and no I don't apologise if you've seen this before.... keep spreading the word.
