Interesting article on an incidence of Type 2 diabetes apparently caused by a virus. :shock:

"Something really interesting came out of just such a project from the lab of Dr. Mike Snyder at Stanford University. Over the course of the experiment, Mike developed type 2 diabetes. And not only did we get to pretty much watch this happen in real time, but we also got to see that it might have been caused in a totally unexpected way—a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection"
