12. I got Type 2 Diabetes because of my lousy genes

My mother, father, maternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, paternal aunts (2), maternal aunt, paternal great grandmother, paternal great aunts/uncles (3), sisters (2) and daughter all have Diabetes.

I ate low-carb, I exercised my ass off and my Diabetes still progressed to the point that I needed medications. If I had a dollar for every person that tells me that Type 2 Diabetes is caused by what I eat or the lack of exercise I get, I would be rich now. Or better yet "you don't look like you are Diabetic" because I'm 5'11" and weight 158 lbs.

Maybe you didn't mean to imply it, but you are not part of the solution. Saying that you can cure Diabetes in any way is just blaming the Diabetic and is not at all supportive of those of us who have tried to cure it - when there is NO CURE.
