[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2263107, member: 140811"] So! I had been participating in some of the covid threads and was scouring the web looking for information relating to blood sugar levels and the immune system. In doing do, I stumbled on an article about T2 diabetes being an autoimmune condition. Quickly losing interest in the original quest I asked Dr Google "is T2 diabetes an autoimmune condition" and was surprised to find a wealth of research information supporting the idea that T2 diabetes may not be a metabollic condition. The idea being put forward seems to be that insulin resistance may in fact be driven by an autoimmune response. Quite interesting (to me anyway) so here's a few links if anybody's interested.
