I have a BMI of 19, easily rep my own body weight, and have type 2 diabetes. I hate that fats have taken over the identity for this disease.  My mother's whole family developed type 2 in their 30's and 40's despite my family being full of fitness nuts.  I run 3-8 miles a day, and I'm a type 2 diabetic. Fats have control, and decide to become type 2 because they are retards.  I don't have a choice.  I'm type 2. What I do have a choice about is if I'm in control.  I eat low GI foods, avoid carbs in the form of breads, pasta, potatoes and the like, and always get in 90m at the gym, every day. As a result my fasting glucose is 75-85mg/dl, and my peak postprandial glucose is typically <120mg/dl.  My HbA1c is 5.2.  I know all this because I test my glucose 6-10 times a day and keep vigilant for signs my disease is progressing. My blood work all looks non-diabetic because I work hard as fuck to keep it that way, but I am still diabetic.  An OGTT shows my body has issues with glucose metabolism, even if my fasting numbers and HbA1c are better than most non-diabetics. Not all diabetics are fat or asked for this.  Some of us work really fucking hard to keep our numbers in line. Fuck fats for stigmatizing this disease.
