QuoteAn international panel of experts from four renowned diabetes research centers, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, has reviewed current literature and is recommending a pivotal change in treatment of Type 2 diabetes to focus on obesity first and glucose control second.

I disagree with much of the content, but here's the link to the article.

I agree with you skb.  The article does not say a word about the quality of food ingested by the study participants, nor did I see anything refer to exercise or movement.  They did not mention how to monitor insulin if you might be insulin dependent, and most people know that insulin is a fat storing hormone.  Why they offer weight loss drugs is beyond me instead of altering eating habits to begin with.
