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

A lot of people just nod knowingly when I tell them I have type 2. They seem to be making two assumptions: that I’m fat because I eat crazy amounts of food, and that obesity caused the diabetes.
