Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevenkpalmer" data-source="post: 2113731" data-attributes="member: 511440">Of course there may be some elements of genetic predisposition. There always has been and the rate hasn't changed.But that does not explain why right now there is a galloping epidemic of T2D and obesity right now especially in westerised urbanised nations .The two conditions are so closely linked that a new term has been coined- diabesity. If it was purely down to genetic factors why are doctors diagnosing children with obesity and T2D every day right now for the first time in history?You seem sceptical because I am newly diagnosed but I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 25 years and helped market drugs to tackle insulin resistance. I gathered groups of specialist gps and nurses together to hear talks  from national experts on the subject and how to help patients deal with it. So I know a little about the subject.</blockquote>
