Diease or not disease, a diabetic question

Diease or not disease, a diabetic question

Last a few days, I read two diabetic related articles, which both are not my cup of tea; but I am really appreciating their thoughts and contrast.

• The Lie That's Killing Us: Pre-Diabetes (Riva Greenberg) on Huffpost defines the Type 2 diabetes as a diesase into four stages, which includes pre-diabetes as the stage 1.
• No Such Thing As Type 2 Diabetes? (Alice G. Walton) on Forbes is on the another side. The original article is published on Lancet (Is type 2 diabetes a category error? by Edwin AM Gale)

Both of authors are creative and thoughtful. Riva Greenberg is much more on the side of novelty/grassroot side (without enough evidence, to me) and Edwin Gale is much more on the side of classic/ivy tower (with typical theory/evidence, to me). I enjoy reading both articles.
