I agree with you Welsh that a lifestyle change is the best for treating/preventing diabetes, but why are you so set against physical education? For instance, in this (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.10...f/standard) study it's said:
So every single hour spent on physical exercise is beneficial. However, it does not help with the underlying problem of overeating and bad diets, but at least it stops the clock for a while. And as I said, our PE classes incorporate health education and older pupils has health education as an obligatory subject. Unfortunately, as long as parents, who mostly control what a family eats, don't follow carefully what their kids eat, it'll be hard to change the children's habits. But by giving them knowledge, they're empowered to do something outside of school to, and in best cases teach their parents and families. So why the aversion?

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
