Interesting.
In Type I, little or no insulin production.
In Type II, deficient cell receptors for insulin.
With both, a double "whammy" that should be devilishly difficult to treat (higher and/or more frequent doses of insulin?).

To what extent(i.e., hard data) has obesity been shown to be "causal" to Type II diabetes as opposed to "coincidental"?

Just some random thoughts.

You forgot on item. When the cells don't use the insulin well, the liver produces more sugar and pumps it into your system.
