Totally agreed that once one is an adult one has the full complement of fat cells - that does not change. The sick fat cell theory is about the health of the fat cell - not the number of them. It is then about what happens within them and between them, and between them, and the organs, gut biota, and digestive system hormones that make up our blood glucose regulation system.  I am rooting for this theory at any rate, as if this is indeed the case, I will get better over time no longer eating excess carbs, and not get worse. But I fear I may not be looking after our all-important gut biota enough - who knows?! (Too many diet cokes and no sugar sprites in my life presently, alas.) And high fat may not be so great for me and how my health presents. I don't know, as yet. Life with diabetes, for me at least, is one big experiment. </blockquote>
