    He has type 2 diabetes, its bought on by bad diet. He wasnt born with diabetes, he caused it. Equally,by adapting his diet he can alleviate the symptoms.

        Wrong. I have been following this guys story for many months. For example, he comes fomr Portsmouth. Somethign I learned the first time this came to light. Also, he has started intenetionally getting fatter in order to pass the BMI limit set down by his local health authority in order to qualify for the gastric band. See, I know rather more about this story than you assume. :)

        Portsmouth, you say? Well, that certainly shows the whole affair in a new light.

                    Sure, if you take too much it will kill blood sugar and give you a raging hunger. Question is, why put that much insulin in your body? After all, it is the diabetic who controls it.

                    You get type 2 diabetes from bad diet. (Unless some accident causes the pancreas to fail). Did you know though that this gut has been intentionally eating to get fat in order to pass the BMI limit set by his local health authority in order to qualify for the gastric band op?

                    The pathophysiology of the development of type II diabetes is quite complex but it's inaccurate to suggest that it's caused exclusively by 'bad diet' and it's completely wrong to suggest that it's caused by eating excess sugar as you mentioned in another post. Someone on long-term prednisone for inflammatory conditions could develop type II DM. Someone who is hypothyroid could develop type II DM. People with the right (or probably more appropriately, wrong) genetics can develop type II DM. I've seen plenty of skinny people who exercise, eat well, but their mother just happened to have type II diabetes and they've just happened to win the genetic lottery. Secondly, pancreatic failure is absolutely NOT the etiology of type II DM. You're thinking of type 1, which is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells - type II DM can result in the eventual termination of pancreatic insulin production but that's an end stage consequence of the disease, not the cause. Thirdly, you're mad at the guy because you think he should take some personal responsibility for his fatness. That's fine, but in my experience the people who complain about personal responsibility live in a metaphorical ivory tower where telling someone to take personal responsibility actually makes a difference. In the real world, it's also possible that it might be better to intervene now, do the banding, and get this guy back to some form of social productivity so that he's not on endless disability/unemployment/welfare, doesn't get all the other expensive diseases that fat people get, and ends up being a net benefit to society instead of a drain.
