This is crap. There are people, myself included, which are simply predisposed to insulin resistance. For reference, I'm 145lbs @ 5'10", exercise daily, and eat relatively well. My last A1C was 5.6. To some extent, yes, diet will help; however, insulin resistance is a complex metabolic process that is absolutely rooted in your genetics, so simply telling people to eat less and/or lose weight is facile at best.
- bityard 6y agoThere may be a genetic component to Type 2 diabetes but _most_ people who are diagnosed with it are indeed quite overweight and have decades of poor lifestyle choices behind them. If we can help those people understand that diabetes is not always inevitable, even if it's not helpful for a small percentage, then that sounds like a net win for me.
