[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1242777, member: 317436"] People think like this because you are uninformed, and all the media tells them is that 'being obese is the leading cause for diabetes'. The media doesn't know jack, most don't even differentiate being insulin dependent and non-insulin dependent types diabetes, but they're always churning out clickbait articles of that topic. I've seen suggestions around the forums that weight gain is [I]caused[/I] by diabetes in plenty of cases, as there are plenty skinny type 2s who don't gain until they start treatments. There is a correlation between weight and diabetes, but it's likely not to be related in the way people suggest. I always try to educate people on diabetes. If they won't shut up and continue their tirades, I can at least say "Well at least they make medicine for my diabetes, but there's nothing in this world that can fix that ugly face of yours". Never fails to make people VERY angry and give me a good guilt free laugh. I hope you managed to sleep after all! [/QUOTE]
