"but this doesn't cause the buildup of omental fat." yes it does, because your liver produces far too much of it and it is subsequently stored as fat around the liver and abdomen. That's why you see many type 2 diabetics carrying around that "spare tire". Unlike a type one diabetic, type 2's are more prone to low glucose crashes, and liver production of glucose.
look it up.
I just finished a 3 week course on the subject. I know what I'm talking about, being a diabetic myself.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by insensitivity to insulin. The reason for this insensitivity is that high circulating fatty acids in the blood inhibit the action of insulin. The reason for the fat is from eating too much. If your energy intake does not exceed your energy output you cannot gain weight in fat. It's just a physical impossibility. I finished a Ph.D. on human nutrition and nutritional biology. I know what I'm talking about.
