[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 323359, member: 12578"] it wouldn't have happened overnight. Developing T2 takes time. By the time you were suffering polydipsia as a symptom of diabetes then your blood glucose levels were already higher than they should be. The high glucose levels would be toxic to your beta cells exacerbating the problem. As to what happens to excess carbs/sugars: Your body will use excess glucose first. If you are taking in more calories than you need then fat will be stored as fat. If you are still taking in more than you need then excessive carbohydrate (after glycogen stores are full) will be converted to fat. It isn't a direct conversion and takes some calories to do it.
