[QUOTE="Dr H, post: 88227, member: 20720"] I find it amusing when I mention that I'm diabetic to people. Because I've always been athletic. My BMI has been obese from the age of 15, but my body fat percentage has always been healthy, although around the age of 18 it did nip into overweight for a few months. But it's strange that people are genuinely surprised by me being diabetic. And I think that goes for a lot of people. I doubt that most diabetics are morbidly obese and haven't been out of their house in years. But I used to feel a sense of injustice, when I saw seriously overweight people who didn't have a health problem because I have a chronic disease which will most likely send me to an early grave and I didn't let myself go like that. But it's a shame that obesity is on the exponential increase, because diabetes will be too soon. [/QUOTE]
