The ADA's Thinking will not change until they admit that weight gain is the first symptom of type 2 diabetes. If weight gain caused diabetes over 98% of all fat people would have diabetes and thats just not the case I was over weight for about 1 year before I was diagnosed. I was between 5 and 20 pounds under weight for 30 years.
I think that our bodies see Diabetes as an invading army and reacts accordingly by storing fat. The human body has this annoying habit of storing food as fat if it thinks It going to be deprived of food for any length of time thats why starvation diets make you gain weight. After I had diabetes for about six months I started losing weight and as soon my cell were able it started storing food as fat.
Sorry to hear about your twin I hope she gets better. I have a strong affinity for twins since i have 3 year old twins
