My type 2 diabetes was not the result of overeating, or a genetic disposition, or consuming a boatload of carbs.

Thanks to the government (from whom too many ignorant people want their healthcare), my diabetes is the result of Agent Orange exposure in ‘Nam. It’s only ONE symptom of Agent Orange exposure . . . . . . . along with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), cystic fibrosis, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy and a host of other delightful diseases.

Despite many “wise and knowledgeable folks who make stqatements about overeating and obesity, those aren’t the only ways people get Type II Diabetes.

Sometimes, the government REALLY is . . . “here to HELP you!”

You still have to have the gene set associated with Type II to develop the symptoms. Not surprising agent orange might trigger them early, but you’d have developed some of the symptoms eventually.
