Well DUH!! It's also the highest population nation in the world. And, diabetes doesn't always necessarily have anything to do with obesity.

I never would have thoughht of that, but I didn't wrie the title. /s

And, diabetes doesn't always necessarily have anything to do with obesity.

They’re often mentioned in the same breath, but type 2 diabetes and obesity are, of course, not the same thing. Roughly one third of obese people will never develop diabetes, and 15 percent of those with type 2 diabetes are normal weight.

How many of those with type 2 diabetes and normal weight are really latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and insulin dependent? Whether it's slightly overweight or morbid obesity, the typical type 2 is not skinny.
