I just read some of your comments about genes and that, diabetes is caused by a gene in T1, it makes you susceptible to it. |Except some people have the genes and never get it, it needs to be triggered. On the other hand I have T1.5 (slow onset t1) and supposedly thats because I have the susceptibility gene AND a gene against T1 so the susceptibility one slows down the rate that my islets are failing or something. Weird!!

Huh, I've never heard of that before.

Have they actually found the genes? I suppose the for-diabetes and against-diabetes genes would not be opposite of each other, otherwise we'd have a lot more slow-onsets than fast-onsets (more likely for heterogeneous than homogeneous inheritance). Or I guess if having only 1 gene for it would make it very difficult to get it at all, that could make sense too. Hm...

Sorry, I tend to put on my Science Hat whenever genes come up, haha

it was more of a jealousy thing and it was ABOUT A PROGRAM. this women she DID love eating causing her overweight what she ate was shocking! besides i'm equally jealous of skinny people who eat fuck loads cause i'm not skinny myself! I don't know why you got so up in the air about it, it was about a program! Watch it yourself if you don't believe me... the whole thing is about weight/mentions T2diabetes the whole time etc. So I was just stating an opinion nothing to do with you really.

Calm your shit. I only pointed it out because you specifically mentioned that they were obese. If it really was equal between skinny and obese people, I don't see why you mentioned it.

Honestly, you could have said something like "there's this woman who is eating a ton of carbs, I'm jealous etc etc" and it would have been fine.

becuase they dont understand the consequences that eating so much crap can have when your obese.. and it was a program about obesity that i was watching hence why i mentioned it, it didn't just come out of nowhere. most skinny people that do that are young i can't say i know older skinny people that eat that much.

Okay. One, most obese people aren't obese because they ~love eating~. They're obese because they lack access to healthy food, are disabled and thereby can't exercise, have a health problem, work too long hours to cook healthy food, have a shitty metabolism, etc. Two, they might be eating that much at that specific moment because they're hungry, after a hard day's work or something. Obese people do physical labor too. Three, I don't think it's anyone damn business what someone's weight is in relation to what they're eating. Be envious at people who eat a lot of carby foods in general and come out of it fine, okay, but don't bring their weight into it. They might not have a choice. Four, yeah, no, I've seen plenty of skinny older people who eat incredible amounts. Talk to my 50-something uncle. He's a damn rail and eats more than anyone I've ever seen.

My basic point is, don't bring weight into it. Unnecessary and, whether you meant it or not, hurtful and mean.

that they can get away with eating so many carbs in one sitting without the side effects of diabetes (at times) and having to control what they eat... nope they just get to carry on with it.

But... what does obesity have to do with that? Skinny non-diabetics do that too.
