What are your medical qualifications? Actual medical doctors disagree with you.

One research study that other studies and common medical advice disputes.[/quote]

Nobody disputes -- or, at least, nobody should dispute --  that there are non-obese people who develop Type II diabetes.[/quote]

Apparently the first PP does.  My DH was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at age 32.  He was of normal weight, ate appropriately and exercised regularly.  We knew it was probably just a matter of time before he developed it.  See, he's of Hispanic descent and has a very strong family history of diabetes.  His mother, aunt, uncle and grandmother have Type 2 diabetes, are a healthy weight, eat appropriately and are physically active. We'll be watching our kids for it as well.  In the meantime, we all have healthy diets and exercise.[/quote]
