[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2250361, member: 365308"] As a type 1 I did used to think that I had a morally superior form of diabetes and that people like my dad suffered from gluttony, sloth and a lack of will power. I know that is not true but that doesn't change the fact that many peopole are susceptible to getting insulin resistant with the ensuing metabolic issues including people who are slim but still can't deal well with starch and sugar As Robert Lustig points out the fat sick (80% of the obese) number less than the thin sick (40% of whom get metaolic problems). As we've seen with current plague, the public health mesaging has to be pretty simplistic and personally I've got no problem associating sugary junk with diabetes. No judgement just let's have facts over feelings please. And yes type 1s don't get diabetes from sugar but eating less sugar/starch helps me manage my condition so I do not care if someone makes assumptions in their ignorance. [/QUOTE]
