Type 2 diabetes is normally very slow to materialise. High circulating insulin comes first along with insulin resistance, followed sometimes decades later by a T2 diagnosis. It doesn't just happen over night.

Well yes I agree and the time scale plays that out. But let's not forget it was Ancel Keys who persuaded the American heart Assn that cholesterol was causing heart attacks using extremely dodgy data.
Her said it was fat especially saturated fat that caused the problem in the arteries using cherry picked data from around the world and ignoring the sugar we were all addicted to. And so started the low fat regimes and subsequent high sugar content of our diets. We were all brainwashed. Why is it that they have less heart disease in France, Germany and Italy [to name just a few countries] than we do where they all eat a much higher fat diet than we do?
Maybe this goes off the point of T2 somewhat but it's all connected and imo these large bodies of so called experts are financed by interested food industries or pharmaceutical companies who only have shareholders' interests at heart.
Ancel Keys has an awful lot to answer for!
