- flakeoil 2y agoType 1 diabetes is a disease. Type 2 diabetes may or may not be a disease. It could as well be a symptom/condition created by lifestyle. 50 years ago there were not that many people with type 2 diabetes because people ate less and moved more (at work and at home).
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoAh, so anything that people could have given themselves is not a disease? Heart disease can be caused by lifestyle, so it's not a disease? And you can't give yourself ADHD so it is a disease? Or is your point and the point I was responding totally unrelated?
