“...his complete ignorance in this area...”

I have friends and family with diabetes, several them acute. And their diet was very important. If he ate food he shouldn’t he would pump extra insulin into his system. I don’t see ignorance in his statement. Although in my ignorance, I only know what I have observed.

My best friend has diabetes...as did her mother and brother. Diet is a big thing.

“Although in my ignorance, I only know what I have observed.”

Type one diabetes is a autoimmune disease where the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed. Normally has an onset when people are young.
Not known yet what causes it, but diet has zero causation.

Type two diabetes is the one that poor diet and health can cause, it occurs in adults normally.
