My best friend has type 1, and i'd say its the other way around because you can prevent type 2.

people who said "no way" should see how it's like to have diabetes&&see how annoying it is when you need to explain to people that there are other ways you can get diabetes. it's not only fat people that get it, ya know!!

I know everybody always says stuff like " Oh so you can't have any sugar?" and then you have to explain.

Who said no way? I have type 1 diabetes, which actually doesn't bother me so much as when ignorant people ask," But I thought diabetic people all weighed, like, 600 pounds," and you have to say," Yeah, but that is type 2 diabetes. I have type 1 diabetes which means that my pancreas was killed by my retarded and messed up immune system." And then, they get all confused and ask you 5 billion questions. I don't mind shots, pump site changes, or finger pricks, but ignorant people are why I most hate being diabetic. Uggghh!!

Type 2 diabetes isn't caused by an unhealthy diet, it merely triggers a gene that they already have for type 2. Just clearing that one up. So it would be annoying to have type 2 from genetics if you lived a healthy life style because of the misconceptions about that type also I'm type 1 btw

My dad has Type 2 diabetes. He got it when he was in his 20, and was really lean and thin. Now he's gained weight because of it, so no, not all Type 2 diabetics are 20000 pounds.
