Simple answer for me at least. Being overweight can cause insulin resistance. And that’s still with healthy bloodwork. I’ve been body building on and off for 15 years and the constant calories to get huge and diet it off messed with my body.

I became type 2 diabetic a few years ago. I went to 3 specialists, and they all said the same thing. They all said *When you walked in I assumed you were diabetic from your size, but when I’m looking at your bloodwork, I’m not sure how*. I was above average on the good stuff and below average on the bad stuff. Doctors told me my bloodwork was fantastic, but I was still diabetic.
