@garland@social.seattle.wa.us @fullyabstract@fosstodon.org “Nonsense” as in type 1 and type 2 diabetes are two different things and evidence for effective treatment of one does not imply effectiveness for the other? Or “nonsense” as in you question the scientific rigor altogether?

@naiee@mastodon.social @fullyabstract@fosstodon.org These two paragraphs near the beginning of the piece are what I was referring to. These doctors in the early 1900s who were treating “juvenile or adolescent diabetes” (what we now call type 1 diabetes) did not effectively treat or cure their patients with oatmeal. Type 1 diabetes is fatal without insulin treatment.
