[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1490529, member: 6467"] Ah, statistics. Roughly 80% of T2 diabetics are over weight or obese on diagnosis. Non-diabetics who are overweight or obese also have a raised risk. Poorly controlled diabetes can restake in damage to the nervous and vascular system. So the statistics include morbidly obese diabetics with enormously elevated blood glucose who are already suffering extreme consequences such as blindness and amputation. If you are slim and fit then your individual risk factor is probably lower. 42% chance? So neay half the posters here have had or will have an incident? Or 42% higher chance? In which case what is the original figure. [/QUOTE]
