[QUOTE="christi99, post: 903807, member: 179601"] Obesity is ya know, obviously linked to T2 DM and it is one of the more effective means to manage the disease, but insulin resistance is considered to be rather genetic, and makes losing weight more difficult (and also may likely have contributed to weight gain in the 1st place!) I think it would be best to take [I]responsibility [/I]instead of taking blame. Responsibility not in the "whys" but in the management part of it. All diabetics, whether thin or overweight do have to manage their dietary intake of carbs and also strongly benefit from BS control with exercise. Both these things are tough to do for anyone (unless you LOVE to exercise and hate desserts or pasta!) regardless of weight. I am Type 2 and have never been overweight- so no one is blaming me... but guess what?! I have the same disease- so I guess it isn't as simple as being obese. We all need to be kind to ourselves and drop the self-blame (regardless of how other people treat us)- that is the only way we can love ourselves enough to do the hard work of managing this thing! I know... easier said than done! [/QUOTE]
