Agreed and good point. I wish they would just call type II Metabolic Syndrome.

I'd go a step further and call it "you need to get off your ass, exercise, and stop eating carbs, syndrome,.

FRiend, I am a woman, 5’9”, 126.8 pounds, and I exercise a LOT. I hike for miles through woods and hills in the a.m. with the dogs, do stable work, ride my horse (jumping and dressage) until we’re both tired, then walk/run a few more miles with the dogs at night. Also do some spot exercises, yardwork, wood splitting, etc. I don’t eat anything white anymore. But diabetes is still creeping up on me. So it’s not just a matter of getting off your ass, exercising, and not eating carbs. I’m really frustrated.
