Everybody, health professionals and patients alike, understood that the root cause of type 2 diabetes lay in weight gain. 

There were rare cases of highly motivated patients who had lost significant amounts of weight. Their type 2 diabetes would also reverse course. 

Logically, since weight was the underlying problem, it deserved significant attention. Still, it seemed that the health profession was not even the least bit interested in treating it.
