Okay first off lets set something straight, type II diabetes can strike anyone !





Type II diabetes is also mostly genetic, if a family member has it ie,


parent , uncle, grandfather, great aunt...etc.





Then you have a much higher chance of developing it.


You can excercise and diet all you want to ward it off, but that doesn't mean you won't get it !





A lot of medical people will tell you that eating wrong and being fat makes you a candidate for developing type II diabetes.





Thats not quite correct ! There are many thousands of over weight people, and obese people who do not ever develope diabetes.





Diabetes is not caused by what you put in your mouth, but by all means do excercise and eat healthy for other reasons.





It really pisses me off every time some ignoramus says type II


diabetes is caused by being fat and lazy and eating junk food !!!





I'm a type II diabetic and ive never been fat ! Ive never been over weight


and never shoved junk food and sweets down my throat !





I have it because my mother has it, and she too has always been as thin as rake.





But as i said diet and excercise will be of great help to you,


if a family member has it, then dieting and excercise


will not only keep you in shape, but may hold off a diabetes diagnoses
