I ate well ALL my life....have been active since I was born, was an athlete/gymnast when it was NOT cool to be one (1960’s)....I never did drugs, never smoked, didn’t live fast and loose.....hereditary issues matter for some....you cannot generalize like you are.

I suppose not. Some people inherit their problems to be sure.
Just like I am developing diabetes in my old age because it runs in the family. I may be able to control it with proper diet practices for a while, but eventually I’ll turn type 1.
I’ve already progressed from being diagnosed with type 2 two years ago, but not requiring drugs, to having to go onto metformin a few weeks ago. I inherited the weak pancreas genetics from my grandfather I suppose.

But even he lived to 82 despite being a type one diabetic most of his adult life.
