Jokes aside, you're right. I never said that all fat people get type 2 diabetes, but they are at greater risk. Not everyone who smokes dies of lung cancer either and not every heroin addict over doses.Being overweight does not always lead to type 2 diabetes and being diabetic does not always mean you are fat. Weight and diabetes often do go hand in hand, but the link is not clearly defined or always there. Unfortunately genetics also play a large roll.
