Just saw this news this morning. We are fucked as a society...

Some fat people don't have diabetes, and some diabetics aren't fat.

This is true.

Today, I weigh about 160 lbs at 5'8". Back when I had type 2, I weighed 190 lbs. Yeah, that was a little on the overweight size, but comparatively speaking I wasn't considered fat at all. I went ahead and lost about 25 lbs or so in the next 3 months and still had diabetes. I struggled type 2 for the next couple years before I could bring it under control.

Is that you in the avatar? That's hot! I wish I look like that.

It is, and thanks!

I used to eat a lot, and unhealthily. But I was blessed, almost too blessed, with a fast metabolism. Proving Harke's point, my eating habits were pretty bad to the point that I looked emaciated at nearly 6 ft and 135 lbs, yet was still considered "pre-diabetic."

And I was so proud of my self-control. I only bought one pound of fudge at Steel's Fudge on the Atlantic City boardwalk yesterday.

It is that good.

OMG! I've actually had that!!! It was so long ago -- but SO GOOD that I still remember...
