Yep, among those for whom the genetic predisposition for elevated
glucose levels exists. Even among many with elevated glucose levels
even then only some become diabetic. As it says, it is not an on and
off thing but a matter of degree, remembering as applies as above. As
it also says, if a full blown diabetic stopping glucose doesn't "cure"
already damaged beta cells and diabetes is not "cured" as a result.
