Keep in shape and don't overeat!

In my family, where's hard to convince to stop eating too much and moving too little we had 3 cases of diabetes in the last decade.

My girlfriend, which weights 170 pounds, and I just can't get to have a healthier life style has been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and high insuline resistance at 33 only!

I am increasingly looking at severely overweight people the same way I look at drug or alcohol addicts. It is an addiction, and it's super unhealthy yet some how socially accepted?

type 1 diabetes is not influenced by diet, lifestyle or exercise which you could have known if you had read the first few paragraphs of the blog you're commenting about

It's diet related, we have been to doctors in our case.

		i'm sympathetic to her health concerns (obviously) but the blog post is about type 1 and your girlfriend seems to have type 2. although they have similar names, their causes are unrelated. from my perspective you are responding to a blog about the complications of a terrible, incurable illness with "you need more exercise" which has no impact on type 1. for completeness: yes, diet and exercise does change the amount of insulin a type 1 diabetic needs, but it does not "get better" or "go away". the type 1 diabetics i know actually live very healthy lives by necessity because they need to constantly keep track of their carb consumption so they can adjust the insulin amount.

Your comment is off-topic (and seemly very private). I think you may have commented on the wrong post.
