I'm a T2 because my Mother and her siblings are too. So are two of my Father's sisters and their daughters. I don't believe it to be because I gorged on cakes and rice sometimes in my misspent youth.Now you have perked my interest. On this forum I expect to be talking to people with diabetes. So if it’s not the carbs that have done the damage what do you suggest it is.

I don't blame anything. It is what it is and there is a strong genetic link.So your blaming your genes?
what do you think causes type 2 diabetes? genuine question, no snark, i am interested to know.So your blaming your genes?
I have NOT been zero carbing, I have been trying out different time periods of fasting. One of those days involved me not having my usual slice of bread. i have not commented on my carb intake on any of my fasting experiments this past week,And yet you have been zero carbing for the past few days and have been quite successful at it.
how do you know that?The western diet full of carbs has more to do with causing t2d. The gene theory is an interesting one. Although it’s not like the genes that turn on/off to say choose the colour of your eyes.
how do you know that?
Interestingly i too come from a family with a strong type 2 occurrence. And those who get it, are around 48-50 years old when it happens. Every time. Even the thin ones.
this. How do you know what i have quoted, that it is not genetic, in part or for some at least?Although it’s not like the genes that turn on/off to say choose the colour of your eyes.
You cannot say that it is one singular food that has made a person Diabetic. There are many other foods that could have contributed to us becoming Pre-Diabetic or diabetic. It's probably not the potato that has caused high BSL's..The companies now have introduced so many new foods over the years plus everything is loaded with sugar. Even our bread is not the same. People ate potatoes back in the 40's and previous, yet diabetes was rare, even in the 60's and 70's. The only reason why potatoes are the worst kind of food for many diabetics is not because of the food, but because we already have insulin problems, probably from other foods. So many foods are now restricted to us because of what we have eaten in the past.That’s just not true. It’s the cumulative effect of eating carbs that has a lot of us in this position. Your entitled to your opinion your not entitled to your own facts.
People will react to information in whatever way they want. At least give the right info. Potatoes are one of the worst foods we can eat. They are full of starch.
I think the cause of diabetes is known. I have not stated genes have nothing to do with diabetes. I did say they are not the same type of gene that has a certain job.... and only does that job in the right circumstances . Like the gene that gives you your eye colour. I have not read any serious expert on the topic that doesnt believe IR is responsible for T2D. In simple terms eating too many carbs causes IR. We dont need carbs. There is no human disease as far as I know of carb deficiency, that says it all.this. How do you know what i have quoted, that it is not genetic, in part or for some at least?
I do find your tone hostile. And dismissive. I am not stupid, uneducated, unread or anything else.
I didnt mention a food I said carbs.You cannot say that it is one singular food that has made a person Diabetic.
