Message: <blockquote data-quote="KitSileya" data-source="post: 2642872" data-attributes="member: 374067">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.</blockquote>
