| Dad, his twin brother, younger brother, first cousin, paternal grandfather, three of his siblings, all diabetic. Nah. I just hit the genetic lottery.
My grandfather (a WWI vet) and his siblings were all born in rural Alabama, either before the turn of the 20th century or shortly after, and grew up on a farm, long before the modern stuff we gripe about was remotely common. All were Type 2.
I think I was born insulin resistant. LOL. I've been plump all my life, no matter what I did. I'm losing weight now, but I'll never be "slender." I'm just not built that way.
