[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2027577, member: 365308"] I'd have a look at Rob Lustig's YouTube presentation on diaobesity but he postulates that obesity doesn't directly track with diabetes but that sugar consumption does especially in populations who are genetically vulnerable e.g. East Asian and South East Asians. Rich populations in Arab countries may not drink alcohol as much but they live in hot places and guzzlle lots of sugary drinks. Everyone seems to agree on certain populations being less tolerant of visceral fat hence a smaller increase in waist measurement could precipitate diabetes in someone who isn't obese or even overweight but others also blame processed food (highly processed carbohydrates plus vegetable oils).
