Fat should be your friend... so long as it is a "good" fat like Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), Avocados, oily fishes like Salmon, or as found in nuts. These help to slow the release of carbs and even-out the BS spikes, AND (importantly for me) they keep you feeling full for longer

Obesity and Type 2 are strongly associated. Most people assume that Obesity is the cause and Diabetes the effect. It is equally valid to suggest that the underlying metabolic disorder which leads to the Type 2 causes the Obesity.
