[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1597541, member: 438800"] One of the things it really highlights is that we still don't know much about what causes T2. There is clearly an "association" between visible obesity and T2, but association does not prove the direction of causation (obesity => diabetes or alternatively, diabetes => obesity). In my case, a strong association between couch potato => T2 diabetes and high-carb-diet = > T2 diabetes. But hundreds of millions of people have far worse couch/diet behaviors and never get T2. So not clear how the causative link works. My doctor, in a very friendly way, averred (at diagnosis) that it could very well be genetic. (I have one first-cousin with T1 and another first-cousin with T2, both of them with "normal" body types and one of them in a very physically active job.) Interesting. [/QUOTE]
