[QUOTE="Roytaylorjasonfunglover, post: 998740, member: 166184"] Genes play an extremely important role in diabetes. People of indian heritage just need to be a couple of kgs overweight in order to get diabetes. People of european decent, like myself, can be quite heavy and never get diabetes. Singapore, South-korea and Japan, have obesity rates below 3 percent, but a diabetes rate of 10 percent. Britain is much more overweight but with a far lower diabetes percentage. Sleep, exercise, stress, chemicals, all these things play a role. But by far the most important thing is excess bodyfat of the WRONG kind. And I think that is important to stress to people, if you get rid of weight your diabetes can go away, not scare them for life that it is chronic. [/QUOTE]
