[QUOTE="Melgar, post: 2575060, member: 520626"] I have a question, if as you say "FAT turns people diabetic " then every person who is obese or very over weight would eventually become diabetic and that's not the case. My own mother was obese (A result of a stroke in her 40's and being confined to a wheelchair as she had Rheumatoid arthritis) And, she had the world's worst diet. She had very high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She lived to a few months short of her 80th birthday. She was not diabetic or even prediabetic. So there has to be something else at play. Insulin resistance?, but what happens to people who are active and fit why do they get T2. Exercise is supposed to open up the cells so they can be more receptive. It seems to me that it is very complicated. Maybe in a few years time they will have more to say on the matter, who knows. Not wanting to challenge you but these are questions I often ask myself and I have no answers. [/QUOTE]
