What are the leading causes of type 2 diabetes?

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's pretty complex. Diet, and exercise levels are all thought to be contributors. But so are other factors, including genetics and certain populations that have higher statistical chances of acquiring the condition. Heck some people that are 100% healthy still come down with it. Diabetes as a whole is complicated and not completely understood.

Simple question answered by a simple Google search for "leading causes of type 2 diabetes" results in being overweight or obese.

So...maybe you're just hating on fat people?

I said, "leading". It's a pretty simple question with a pretty simple answer.

It's ok, you can say it.
