WA researchers have helped to discover a hidden "obesity gene" that could change how type 2 diabetes is diagnosed and treated.
The previously unrecognised gene is one of a few now linked to insulin resistance and high blood-sugar levels.
It adds weight to the theory that obesity and lack of exercise are not the only culprits contributing to the explosion in type 2 diabetes.
Almost 100,000 West Australians, or one in 25 people, have type 2 diabetes.

Finally! 🙂 I wonder how long that statement will take to become the public's understanding?
