| Harold,
I have never heard of a T2 baby either. And the quote doesn't suggest that this happens. We all know that, typically, insulin resistance precedes the onset of T2 by many years. As insulin resistance intensifies, the pancreas produces more insulin. And blood sugars stay in the normal range. Until eventually the pancreas can't keep up with the increasing insulin requirement. The bsl rises above the diabetic threshold and you have the onset of T2 diabetes. But that can be 20, 30, 40 years after insulin resistance started.
The quote suggests that this process starts very early, even in the womb. That is not incomprehensible to me. Especially since childhood onset of T2 is becoming quite common.
Cheers,
Mark
