Low birth weight increases risk of Type 2?!

Was leafing through the magazine my country's diabetes association puts out, and there was a small notice about research showing that having a low weight at birth increased one's risk of getting type 2. The researchers theorized that it was due to getting less nutrients in the womb making organs develop less well. Have any of you heard anything about this? Weighing in at 1600gr at birth, I would love to know more about it.

It's funny to hear all different birth weights. I remember my sister talking about being warned against "cola babies" when she was pregnant with my 19-year old nephew - babies that were 6+ kgs because the mother had a generally unhealthy diet, metonymized by drinking full sugar cola. I wouldn't have been surprised if these babies had an increased risk of T2, to be honest, so I found it funny that low birth weight now had been proved a risk factor by Danish researchers. I guess genetics is still the biggest risk factor, I've heard 40 percentage points of risk for each parent with T2. My dad and my maternal grandmother had T2, so I figure a risk factor of about 50% in my case just from genetics.
