[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1635678, member: 6467"] Could well be a combination of the two. I think that heredity increases your risk score, but not to 100%. As you say, the "healthy" diet will put a strain on the pancreas, liver and other tissues if you have a hereditary tendency to Insulin Resistance. However if you by chance have followed a LCHF lifestyle which has helped may to achieve normal BG levels even with a compromised insulin system then there is a good chance you would never show diabetes symptoms. Which prompts an interesting (to me) question. If you lived LCHF all your life, how would you tell if you had diabetes? Finger prick and HbA1c wouldn't show anything. [/QUOTE]
