Look up "confounding variable" and think again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding

What you describe is not smarter way. It's jumping to conclusions.



No actually, I'm not. Instead, my baseline is the historic norm, the evolutionary norm. I don't jump to the conclusion of normalizing diabetes and then come up with some throw-more-pills-at-it theory.

In other words, how effective is this "cure" vs no diabetes at all? *That* is the question.
