[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1670822, member: 459333"] I'd agree that it's likely to be recent changes (i.e. last few decades) to western lifestyles that explain the increasing incidences of Type 2. Excess carbs is one candidate. As are excess calories. As is insufficient exercise. I appear to have been born with a body that could make a decent job of running away from predators, or hunting for food. However I find myself living in strange times, where all I need to do to survive, is sit behind a desk all day to earn money, then waddle to a shop where the shelves are packed with more calories than my body knows what to do with. It's certainly not all about balance and self control for *everyone*. Some people will never be able to get Type 2 no matter how hard they try, and some people will not be able to avoid it. I don't know where I lie on that spectrum, but there is plenty of reason to believe that, had I had more self control (or hindsight) I could have spent all my life eating all types of food in moderation and I wouldn't have Type 2.
