[QUOTE="KELI, post: 674780, member: 78264"] My mum and her mum are/were type 2 diabetics. My brother and sister are massively overweight and live off junk. I'm the slimmest (medically 2 stone overweight and working on it) and I had gestational diabetes with both of my children (2 years apart), then got diagnosed as type 2 a year later. If the media were correct my entire family would be diabetic. There's lots of reasons why we become diabetic...genes, environmental factors, today's way of living (high stress, little manual labour, food availability, quantity and quality), medication which triggers diabetes, the list is endless. As the doctor says in the link I posted, could it be that we are looked at in the wrong light, could it be that obesity is a symptom of diabetes and not the cause! I for one certainly think so.
