[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1672098, member: 459333"] Do you think there will ever be a simple categorisation of 'the' cause of T2, or that we'll ever be able to rule out a cause? I'm thinking that lung cancer, for example, could be the result of many things. A smoke problem, a radiation problem, a genetic problem, or bad luck in some as-yet unknown way. There's no point in trying to make it fit one cause. I'd expect T2 similarly to be the result of more than one thing. I'd be stunned if for some people the first-order cause wasn't energy balance. By first-order I mean that for some individuals, if that one thing alone was tackled, they may avoid T2 altogether. Running out of petrol in a car is a fuel tank size problem, an engine efficiency problem, a speed problem, a wind resistance problem etc. I don't know why I said that, it's a silly analogy and I'm sure you get my point anyway!
