You don't have to be overweight to develop diabetes

[Northerner]

If you think losing weight is enough to prevent diabetes, don't get your hopes up!

What you eat and not just the number of calories is a significant factor in diabetes risk, a new study suggests.

The study found that the postprandial (after eating a meal) levels of circulating metabolites in the blood of identical twins tends to be similar after a fast food meal, independent of weight difference.

We are always warned that diabetes in parents is a significant factor in determining the likelihood of becoming diabetic and some people seem to think they can cure their diabetes through diet. Has anyone studied the incidence of T2 diabetes in identical twins with diabetic parent?
