[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1626901, member: 195124"] But smokers have a choice (and still only the ones with the genetic predisposition get cancer) You have to eat and unfortunately are one of the ones with a genetic disposition to glucose intolerance/diabetes. Not your fault that you have this gene. You must know people who eat terribly bad diets, are hugely fat but do not have diabetes. Therefore it is not the fault of your lifestyle but of your genetics which you can't help. Yes a change of lifestyle can help improve the condition but the cause and effect is the wrong way round. It's your genetic makeup that allowed your lifestyle to cause diabetes. So you became diabetic because of your genetics NOT your lifestyle otherwise every fat person who ate terribly would be diabetic and they are not. It's correlation not causation in many cases. Plus the so called healthy lifestyle of 'high carb/ low fat/ wholegrains' that many of us tried to follow was still making us fatter because it' not actually a healthy diet at all. Had I gone against the government advice and kept eating full fat everything i probably wouldn't have had the problems with glucose intolerance that I have. Nor the IBS due to an intolerance to wholegrain/wheat bran etc. [/QUOTE]
