Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / April 2007Genetics and type II diabetes
An article about a series of studies indicating genetic's role in type II diabetes: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/04/27/genetic_flaws_may_point_wa y_on_diabetes/ Perhaps this is why some people can eat high carb and not have any deleterious effects, while others (like me) cannot.  SignatureBob in CT This ain't new to me, I've always thought that diabetes was based mainly in genetics. But I also think that there are many, many diabetes who are made due to the current processed food supply and lack of exercise.

I think T2 has a lot to do with genetics but processed food and lack of exercise make it hard to overcome the genetic component. A proper diet and exercise can delay or reduce the impact.

I was the only one who hadn't developed it yet. That's why it's so strange that after gastric by pass that I started having symptoms of it. They call it reactive hyper/hypoglycemia though and most likely will subside at some point. My T2 is fine though, not sure I agree with the accuracy of those blood tests though. It's thought by some that fibromyalgia may be a symptom of undiagnosed hypothyroidism.
