[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1118980, member: 21149"] Hi. Sadly I think quite a few T2s will have developed T2 thru excess weight AND a genetic pre-disposition to diabetes. So, being overweight doesn't mean diabetes but if you have the wrong genes then excess weight may result in it. So, in that sense it can be linked to lifestyle but you would be unaware of the risk (I know many will disagree!). Anyone who has had diabetes following pancreatitis is not T2 but Late onset T1 as the pancreas is failing to produce insulin rather than thru insulin resistance. There is great confusion on the definition of T2 which no one agrees on. [/QUOTE]
