[QUOTE="Loobles, post: 618040, member: 119208"] That's precisely the point I was trying to make, you can be the kind of person who exercises and eats healthy and still become diabetic because there are now thought to be many factors that influence whether or not you become type 2. Shift working, night working etc have all been mooted as possible causes. I know this, because when I blamed myself for being on the cusp of type 2, I was told that recent studies are suggesting there's much more to it that what we eat/drink and how much we move. I think it will be a while longer before anything is conclusively proven, but personally I find it all very interesting that there may be so many causes - some of which we have no control over, such as genetics. Like any illness, you can be the first in your family to get that illness. I'm thinking things like CF, I happen to know 2 families whose kids were the first in their known family history. I'm not saying the OP doesn't have valid concerns, I'm giving my opinion on the situation, which may differ from somebody else's and that's fine. We don't have to agree. [/QUOTE]
