Default Re: Diabetes: Discussion thread.

In my family, its on my dads side - both uncles too insulin dependent. Imo it was environment not hereditary. All were power lifters,wrestlers, in the gym when younger. As they got older they got complacent fitness wise when family life set in & didn't have much time to stay fit. Sound familiar?

They ate the same stuff as when younger but were not drinkers. Sweet tooths, you bet! No info back then about diet, exercise etc, todays generation has much more info available on diabetes thank god.

In regards to the brown fat info, apparently being cold actually promotes it (brown fat) Dr Swan asked the research doctor if he practiced getting cold himself & the researcher said yes, not 100% sure but about 45min a week. Google has lots on the subject, but playing golf (in winter too) is what I did for years to help stay fit.

cheer's, Maka
