[QUOTE="Toffer, post: 1268595, member: 284794"] I think that for people that may have a predisposition for diabetes then a traumatic event could "trigger" it - or more like the straw that breaks the camels back. I had a motorcycle "accident" in my late thirties (stolen car came out a side road into me). Long story short but 18 months later, diagnosed with T2 (wrongly - actually T1). Went to a "Living with Diabetes" class. I asked the question about trauma. Of the 12 there, half had had some sort of high stress event; car accident, fell of a ladder, bereavement, burglary, divorce etc. So, yes, I definitely think there is some correlation - but the medical profession (and the insurance industry) completely deny it.
