Maybe.. but I ask you this.. I played sports from the time i could barely run around.. (6 or 7) all the way to D1 football scholarship. I also wrestled, did competitive power lifting in my own time. Worked out and played ball until i destroyed my back in my early 20's (21 to be exact). Rehabbed in the gym and running for 3 years and was never able to overcome the injury due to permeant nerve damage (sciatic). By the time i was 28.. i was fully diabetic. That's about 5 years from the time i was physically active on a daily basis to being told i was diabetic by a doctor. How do you explain my early age of diabetic development? Both of my parents are diabetic. All 4 of my grand parents are diabetic. At least 2 of my great grand parents were (becuase that was before it was easily diagnosable, there may have been more relatives). All my aunts and uncles are diabetic, and my cousins with 1 exception are diabetic. I feel that there is possibly a generic pre-disposition that can happen. I don't know how to explain my early expression of diabetes. I've been living with it for 20+ years and i'm still going because i've learned more about diet and it's affect.. but i feel like at 28 or at 29 i shouldn't have been fully diabetic which normally shows up in peoples 40's and 50's, especially with my athletic lifestyle growing up. It just doesn't make sense. I agree with the knowledge part... but there had to be other factors besides a lifestyle that i don't know that i agree that i inherited some terrible lifestyle.
Yes...that I know
