[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2158470"] Or put another way - in the context of T2 at least - if you can't or don't want to eat those same carbohydrates then you won't have diabetes. T2 is a symptom of inappropriately managed glucose intolerance, not a disease in itself. By your rationale I was born with it, which is clearly not the case. I was born with a glucose intolerance as a result of having a low fat-building threshold, but since there is no need to consume glucose, it's moot. "Normal" is a construct of society. Not necessarily what is ancestrally appropriate for all humans, and definitely not in all parts of the world, in all seasons. I'm in danger of wearing this phrase out, but [I]"Life is not a carbohydrate eating competition"[/I] and never has been. Humans have always been able to thrive without it, and choosing not to eat it doesn't mean someone has diabetes, it means they don't have it [I]because[/I] of their choice. That is my view at least. You are of course free to disagree :D [/QUOTE]
