Re: Re: Re: TTTT/TTT
Whether or not your genetic predisposition will actually leads to diabetes is depending on lifestyle, and eating habits.
You have a remarkable habit of consistenly putting things upside down. Let me try to explain it in common words:
Suppose your ability to have a bad lifestyle without getting sick depends on how much resistance money you have in the bank. Every time you sit the whole week-end in front of your computer and eat chips, you are drawing resistance money from your account. For every pouns you gain in weight, you draw money.
Every time you exercise, eat good food, and loose weight, you put money INTO the bank.
If your account gets overdrawn, you get diabetes (here the analogy stops; once you have overdrawn, you may pay down on your dept, but you cannot get back in positive).
Are you with me so far?
Now, of course, the "resistance money" is someting inside your body, and so is the bank.
So where is the genetic part? Well, we are each born with a different amount in the bank. Some have only a very slim account, so as soon as they start "spending" they go into debet. Others have some more and will only hit red after decades of overweight and sedentary lifestyle. And some have a big sum that they are virtually unable to spend during their lifetime.

To the topic:-
Whether prospective/predisposed diabetic2/IR patients are usually, occasional, irregular & excess eater? Are they predisposed to the habit of occasional, irregular & excessive craving of eatables esp. carbs?
