| hey there, as far as I am aware there is still ongoing debate over that very question and similar ones. I remember reading that there is a lot of evidence to suggest that some people start out producing too much insulin, eat to compensate, and gain weight from the extra calories as well as absorbing a higher percentage of what they eat due to the increased insulin, then become resistant to the insulin due to the weight/genetics/lifestyle...
I expect that they'll eventually find that there are quite a few routes different people take to the same place once they have it all figured out... if that ever happens...
