Answers:
Yes, my mother was type 2 diabetic. She was left under the impression, by her doctor (in the 1960s), that sugar was the cause. I quit taking in excess amounts of sugar ever since. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have read quite a lot on diabetes, since then, and have learned that fat is far more likely a suspect in the diabetes equation than sugar. Also, lack of exercise is a significant contributor. So, if you have a genetic predisposition toward type 2 diabetes, and you don't want to become diabetic, may I suggest that you eat a healthy diet low in fat, keep your weight down, and exercise regularly? This should minimize any chance that you might become diabetic.
