T2 Diabetes is not specifically to do with fat people or even an unhealthy lifestyle. Genetics, medication, diseases, stress all have a part to play. Thin people do get Diabetes as well. In the US the Hopi Indians have a 50% chance of getting it. In parts of Northern Europe there is a much greater chance of getting Diabetes. No-one really knows why. The Beta cells in the Pancreas produce Insulin. You can either have a reduced output from those Beta cells, or you can have a reduced body cell sensitivity- where your body's cells do not recognize the Insulin. The increase in sugar urine excess in T1 Diabetics if not controlled can lead to ketoacidosis which is life threatening. Insulin is produced at a basal rate, constantly being produced through your body. At foot time, the Beta cells release a little extra to cope with the food demand. Without Insulin you will die. That is why T1 Diabetics need insulin constantly. Just a few points to clear up.
