Lest we forget the country we live in. Type 2 Diabetes was very rare before the fast food boom. Before everything came in boxes, before the cereal companies and pharma started promoting high sugar, low fat cereals

1960, America has gotten fatter and fatter, and diabetes has been an epidemic since the 90's.

Insulin itself is not a drug, just like cortisone, or thyroid, are not, they are naturally occurring hormones in the body. The Synthetic ones given as medicine ARE drugs. Because they are different chemicals, the body doesnt handle them as easily as natural, and in those large doses.

No doubt insulin is important to diabetics, and not all diabetics are overweight, some are very skinny. But the mass epidemic is all caused by insulin resistance, thats the bodys inability to use insulin well. insulin resistance is involved in belly fat, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol.

Probably the hardest job the body has is keepin sugar levels balanced. Combine that with stress, no exercise, bad diet, and being overweight, knock out punches.
