Diabetes is a condition where the body does not process or produce insulin. Unless a brand new study has been released diabetes is not a direct result of excess calorie intake. Obesity is a strong indication of developing diabetes, but it is not the cause.
Hmmm. I think you’d best check the literature more carefully, Tristan. It’s a feedback loop: people who add weight are at greater risk of developing diabetes type II (insulin resistant), and people who are insulin resistant add weight easily, especially with high glycemic index diets. The mechanisms in the first clause are not super-well understood, but they’re well known.
