[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 248221, member: 40343"] This maybe a really stupid question and completely off topic but is there any real evidence for an epidemic of Type 2 or is it just that nowadays it is tested for and found? Maybe 20, 30, 40 , 50 years ago people were Type 2 but remained largely undiagnosed. The link between smoking and cancer always existed but the statistics would only show people beginning to die of smoking related diseases once it had been accepted that smoking caused them. My instinctive belief is to say that Type 2 rates have risen dramatically over the last 10 years or so and that therefore something has caused that to happen. What causes / caused should imo be the focus of research and not necessarily a hunt for a cure. Prevention is always better. [/QUOTE]
