[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2243691, member: 451727"] I think that's too simplistic and not true, (the bit about being overweight & obese pointing to 'type 2') and it's also stereotypical. If the 70% are overweight then even now only a small proportion have diabetes, there could be a myriad of reasons as to why they have become seriously ill. It is most likely overall health as well as pure luck/dna as to who gets seriously ill and who doesn't. I think that trying to point the finger at any one thing may give people a reason to think 'I won't get it because I'm not this, that and the other'. [/QUOTE]
