[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 323505, member: 48386"] I guess I'm wondering why you keep going around the subject of the how/why of your development of diabetes, as I thought it had pretty well been covered in your other thread about the definition of diabetes? Even if you knew the cause with 100% certainty, there's nothing much you can do about it now except your very best to halt the progression as best you can, knowing that even if you don't stop the progression, the reasons why may well be outside of your control - eg. how many beta cells you have left, how much damage may/may not have already been done, etc. I'm not a scientist, but my layman's understanding is that we are all born with a genetic heritage that predisposes us to certain diseases, conditions, whatever but that predisposition isn't a predetermined sentence. A whole heap of factors come into play - diet, exercise, lifestyle, food quality, environmental pollutants, our mother's health during pregnancy, etc. that may or may not finally 'flick the switch' and we end up with that disease/condition. I don't think developing diabetes would ever be something as simple as you drank too much orange juice or beer for 'x' amount of time. If you haven't already seen this, I'd suggest you read Jenny Ruhl's article "You Did Not Eat Your Way To Diabetes", here: [url=http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14046739.php]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14046739.php[/url] [/QUOTE]
