[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 941946, member: 12578"] We don't know without a follow up study if these 75% did go onto develop diabetes or not, numbers suggest not since diabetes rates don't approach that sort of figure (and seem to have peaked in the West) . Perhaps his definition of what is normal is not correct; it certainly wasn't the norm. I realise that he suggested fasting insulin wasn't a good test but nevertheless fasting insulin does show differences between groups. Kitavan Islanders have been shown to have very much lower fasting insulin levels than a randomly selected group of Swedes. Waist circumference levels also predicted fasting insulin in both Kitavans and Swedes. As a group Kitavans have a very low (miniscule) incidence of heart disease. (and of course as you can probably guess they eat very few processed foods but they eat a very high carbohydrate diet ;) [URL]http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.fr/2010/12/interview-with-kitavan.html[/URL]) Have the Kitavans got a different genetic makeup to us? I suspect not that different, just as our genes aren't that different to our ancestors who didn't develop T2 ( caveat on genes: epigenetics; ie the way some genes are expressed and others not can be altered in the womb so that would be a possible cause of rapid inherited change ) [URL]http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/inheritance/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
