This is perhaps the first genetic defect in type 2 tied to faulty insulin production. Others have been found associated with increased insulin resistance.

I thought the article was going to say that guys who cheat on their wives have a great chance of getting Type 2 diabetes.

“Others have been found associated with increased insulin resistance.”

I suspect every type 2 diabetic has insulin resistance, either as the cause of their diabetes or as the result. If you know anyone who has started gaining weight without changing or increasing their caloric intake, it’s a safe bet their body is resisting insulin. Likewise, if you know overweight type 2 diabetics who eat modestly, same thing. They compensate by making more insulin to make energy, and it gets used to make fat.
