Right - but even then, if a super fit endurance athlete stops exercising, they don't immediately become diabetic. The upstream cause (what biochemical stimulus is driving the fat deposition?) is probably where the key insight lies.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoWell yeah. You’re measuring the output to a multi-variate function. There should be no expectation that this one output drives other occasionally correlated outputs to other functions.
- aulin 3y agoIf I recall correctly there were some studies that actually showed endurance runners have higher type 2 diabetes risk. And the suspect cause was the diet, specifically the carb loading practice and the abuse of high sugar products during the activity. So the three categories may actually share the same baseline, insulin resistance. It was quite controversial when it emerged (see Tim Noakes story), not sure if it's more accepted these days.
- lelanthran 3y agoThis is very interesting to a diabetic like myself, who is slightly underweight. I've even had some people tell me I can't be diabetic because I don't have much, if any, extra fat.
