My husband carries some extra weight and eats cookies or cake or candy ever single day..no diabetes..

I avoid scary foods and yet I have diabetes..on metformin..

there is more to it then sugary foods.

Totally agree. Type 2 diabetes is not a purely modern problem. The disease has been around thousands of years in various populations around the world. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s entire family virtually died of it just as metformin was being discovered and it would be hard to find a more ardent advocate for farm women, their families, and farming as a way of life and a calling. But its prevalence is no doubt increasing due to widespread changes in lifestyle.
