Type-2 diabetes linked to autoimmune reaction in study
Very interesting article by Krista Conger on some recent research. It begins:
Type-2 diabetes is likely to have its roots in an autoimmune reaction deep within the body, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of Toronto. The finding, coupled with a similar study by the same group in 2009, vaults the disorder into an entirely new, unexpected category that opens the door to novel potential therapies.
One possible therapy that proved effective in laboratory mice, . . .
There is continued research specifically in the area of chronic inflammation and it’s effects on D II.
Considering your personal to be applauded’ battle and apparent victory over weight, i thought you might be interested in these the most recent findings.

Thanks for the pointer. Odd that they don’t mention turmeric, a very powerful anti-inflammatory that’s been studied. Here are some articles on turmeric’s benefits. (I eat 1/2 tsp daily in my hot cereal.)
