Post #322,512 by Mycroft_Holmes_Iv 3/7/10 9:57:01 PM Reply	Yes and no... Genetics plays a role in Type I && II (but not in gestational or (sometimes) ones involving injury. Overweight can be a side effect of Diabetes...(and not eating right can affect you getting Type II diabetes) I know diabetics (who don't handle their sugars properly) who have gotten heavily overweight. I know others who have watched their weight and reversed diabetes. But my Grandfather was rail-thin and had to take insulin the entire time I knew him. No hard and fast rules. It's a fun disease.

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.

They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
