I still wonder if people get type 2 diabetes because they are fat, or get fat because they have type 2 diabetes.

Well, I’d say we push the envelope with sugars/carbs to the point that our insulin can’t dump the calories into muscle or fat fast enough. This overstresses the whole body, which continues to break down in small amounts, everywhere, including the very processes meant to shuttle energy around.

We no longer have to be constantly physical, burning calories. We also have cheap, available carbs that become a more fun choice than veggies and fruits for taste and cost. We used to grow a lot of the food we used in gardens, too.

We were not meant for what has become.

Excess iron causes diabetes.

Diabetes is no respecter of persons. Fat people may be more susceptible to diabetes but people with normal weight and even low weight can also suffer with diabetes.
