Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Just saw a little rundown on T2 on CBS's morning show. All that " dr " did was go through the complications, the symptoms, urge screening over 45 and earlier in the presence of risk factors. Oh, and she also blamed T2 on (Now, Don't Shoot The Messenger - I am only repeating what I just now heard on CBS - and am not expresssing any personal opinion or belief whatsoever) obesity and sluggish metabolism - no mention of any genetic component - AGAIN, Don't Shoot The Messenger - that would be...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Well, personally, I don't know of anyone in my family who was ever dx'd. That doesn't mean that there is no predisposition to diabetes, just that no one we know of was dx'd. I'm less interested in where it came from than I am in controlling it. It just seems to me that once we've got the darn disease it doesn't matter whether genes play a part in it, or long-term menu choices caused it - the treatment is the same no matter what - you change the way you eat, start exercising and take meds or insulin or whatever you have to do. I do think it's strange that I've never heard any authoritative claim that genetics are the main cause of diabetes. Now, that doesn't mean that the claim has not been made by some authoritative source - it only means that I haven't come across it. CarolR ml wrote: > I believe it Carol.

Not sure what is " authoritative " or if genetics were ever called the " main " cause of diabetes.
