Again, you could not be more wrong. Type II is due to obesity and bad choices. I’m sure your Dr. Told you to shed a few 100 lbs when you were diagnosed. Don’t blame me, I didn’t stuff your face for the last (fill in the blank) years.
For those who have a genetic predisposition, you may be right. You may get type 2 regardless of what you do.
But the majority of today's type 2 is obesity generated i.e. overeating and under exercising.
The modern lifestyle is all about ease and convenience (i.e. less physical exertion) and food choices EVERYWHERE and all around you, even delivered to you so you don't have to walk to your car to go get it.
“Obesity-associated type 2 diabetes—or both 1 and 2?”
good question ...
>> I didn’t stuff your face
You obviously jumped on this thread with an axe to grind.
Regrets you’re suffering from T1.
Agreed
I’ve lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks on a low carb, high fat diet, including 3 or 4 cheat days. I don’t necessarily stick to under 25 carbs per day. Sometimes I go as high as 50.
If you want to prevent diabetes, note that having a lot of stored iron stores causes it. Donating blood once every two years makes having excess iron less likely.
You obviously jumped on this thread with an axe to grind.
He sounds like an angry person who decided to post to try to spread his misery.
I have not yet seen any description of the degree of diabetes these victums had. Have any of you?
I have a similar plan. And it works well!
>> Hopefully, you’re not the fat, unhealthy bastard I’m picturing
I have no idea what gave you that impression.
Why am I not surprised?
I have no idea why you’re “not surprised”.
How about sharing your rationale for the personally denigrating remarks.
about 90% of people with type 2 diabetes have obesity or are overweight (BMI of at least 25).
30 percent of overweight people have the disease, and 85 percent of diabetics are overweight
Which is why I’d imagine weight to be the issue rather than diabetes—unless deaths are also several times higher for those with type 2.
Or more preciesly, I’d imagine inflammation associated with obesity to be the issue.
those bmi’s are for midgets
it used to be over 33 was slightly obese
25 would be a stick figure in westerners
Read a Japanese study about 10 years ago that discussed vitamin D and the reduction of viral infection, so I started to take it every winter to avoid being infected from the winter office bugs. It worked.
The only time I got a bug was the year I forgot to start vitamin D that winter.
Met a couple people today who were in their late 60’s and early 70’s at a Republican picnic who are going the D route and not going for the jab.
I’m a first medical first responder with a co-morbidity so took the jab 2 months ago but if I was retired I wouldn’t have.
What personally denigrating remarks? I believe everything I have posted to be factually accurate. If not, prove me wrong. Don’t shoot the messenger, especially when he hits the mark.
