[QUOTE="ckneppel, post: 1315301, member: 326591"] Well, for Type 2, it all goes back to genetics. Some people have a super pancreas where the cells are robust and replace themselves sufficiently (like my 94 year old mother-in-law who eats refined carbs like mad and is none the worse for it). Others are not so lucky (like me), the cells don't want to replace themselves as efficiently and make one susceptible to the onslaught of the refined carbohydrate western diet - thus causing the increasing downward spiral of metabolic derangement that is Type 2. Most likely a cure, will come in the form of genetic modification via something like CRISPR technology - if gene therapy could fix my deficient genes, I'd be happy to become a GMO! [/QUOTE]
