I was lead to believe that I could have been diabetic for up to ten years before my diagnosis but did not show symptoms.
Mind you that was a GP who wouldn't send me to a specialist until I had a hypo in front of her. Even though I had complained about feeling dreadful for the past nine months!
Go figure!
Wasn't Skurge a character on He Man and The Masters of The Universe? Mates with Skeletor?
I think we have to be very careful about saying "lifestyle choice". It's a lifestyle choice to avoid the lifestyle that contributes to T2 diabetes risk. But that lifestyle itself is more of a default, not a choice. Just doing what everyone else does would stretch the definition of "making a choice" and also implies more blame than is really warranted. The T2-prone lifestyle is not a "lifestyle choice" than individuals have made. It's more that they could have made a lifestyle choice to not follow the normal lifestyle.
This is never a popular opinion but one I've expressed many times before. Lifestyle choice is a huge factor in T2 diabetes. Not every case obviously but the parallel between the rise of T2, obesity and urbanization is undeniable. In that respect the media can sometimes be accurate BUT to me there is a complete lack of balance in the media coverage of the other causes and far too much sensationalism..........although, if you want to avoid that then don't read certain newspapers!
