[QUOTE="Helenababe, post: 251796, member: 38105"] I don't believe obesety has anything to do with getting diabetes, simply because there are thousands of obese people who never get it, and also plenty of thin people who 'do' get it. I know someone who has been skinny all her life, but was diagnosed with T2. Because the public are lead to believe you have to be obese to get it, she was very upset and throwing the question at her GP: 'Why have I got diabetes? I shouldn't have it, I'm not over weight!' I don't think any of the medical profession know for sure why we get diabetes. Plenty of theories, but no actual proof. I believe that if they did, there would have been a cure by now.
