[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1165324, member: 41816"] 'Just exercise and diet. T2 is a lifestyle choice, you know!' The saddest thing is that this level of ignorance crops up on the forum regularly. I do agree that lifestyle choices have some impact for some T2s, and that we can usually benefit from improving aspects of our lifestyle. But that is true of 99% of the population - including the plonkers spouting such drivel. However, if being an obese non-exerciser caused T2 then every obese person would get it - and they don't. It is a minority condition amongst the obese, while slim fit people get it too. [/QUOTE]
