[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1280919, member: 211362"] yeh here in Australia the lifestyle precursor apparently is one of the causes in about 58% of T2 cases. So yeh I get that it is a big risk factor, but it isn't the only risk factor. As you all here have mentioned you tend to have more than one precursor to getting T2. At the time of diagnosis for me I would've had at least 3 precursors. What I did find interesting is that my endo explained to me once you get one hormone condition, you're at high risk of other symptoms from hormones not functioning correctly... hence other diseases. Eg. I was told I had PCOS first and that lead to me being diagnosed with "mature onset diabetes (previous T2 name)" at the age of 25. I felt kind of odd having a label of "mature onset diabetes". When I was diagnosed they were telling me I'm too young to have the disease as well as it was supposed to only develop in people over 40. We now know that T2 can develop at any age. [/QUOTE]
