[QUOTE="Scardoc, post: 674200, member: 44692"] Whilst it would be more popular to agree with all of the above I, personally, think it is dangerous to say that there is no blame or lifestyle choice influences at play with T2 diabetes. Yes, there is a genetic element to obesity but that is normally a predisposition to obesity. Not a gene that says "you are destined whatever you do to be obese". Has this gene magically appeared in our society or has it always been there? If it's always been there then why did we not see "obesity epidemics" at other points in history? It would be ridiculous to say that every T2 diabetic has become so through lifestyle choices but I think there is a larger proportion than who do so than people in the diabetic community are willing to accept.
