[QUOTE="Patch, post: 189455, member: 13526"] Didn't want to de-rail this thread: [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=20857]viewtopic.php?f=18&t=20857[/url] ...so I'm starting one here. This is not news to me, but to some I'm sure it will be. This lends evidence the argument that diabetes (and everything that leads up to it) is the CAUSE of obesity, not a symptom of it. You could walk past a chip shop every night for a year, and not once eat there. But if the smell causes a metabolic response, what chance have you got? The strongest willed individual will suffer the same effects as anyone else. Seriously - what chance have we got? Even if the NHS wanted to test for it - how would they? "Ummmm.. Do you like the smell of food? You do? Oh, you must be pre-diabetic. Better get you on statins and metformin ASAP, [i]as a precautionary measure...[/i]" We're all doomed. I'm sure a lot of this will fall on deaf ears. There's quite a lot of that "blame the fatties" attitude around here. People seem to forget - we all know people that are as thin as sticks, but eat like horses. Both of my brothers, and my Dad fall into this category. I'm very jealous of them! :wink: [/QUOTE]
