    Yeah, he was quaffing massive amounts of carbs and glucose.

    Even if you burn it off, it's too much for the liver and pancreas.

    It's like saying as long as you maintain and service an engine and keep it in top condition, no matter how many miles on it, it's not going to suffer from wear and tear.


    Better to never consume high levels of carbs if at all possible.

      My point is (even if put across badly) is that TYPE2 can be caused by your Lifestyle choice, many !!NOT ALL!! people I have come across with type 2 fall into the category of making excuses and not taking responsibility for their own health, they could if they wish to make the choice to control a disease that will cause them major issues, many choose not to
      Well looks like we finally educated you
      DId take a while to get the fact into your thick bonce though.

      From: Genetics of Diabetes: American Diabetes Association®

      "Type 2 diabetes has a stronger link to family history and lineage than type 1, although it too depends on environmental factors."
      "Studies of twins have shown that genetics play a very strong role in the development of type 2 diabetes"

        Pretty common with many top rank athletes though.
        Or do you think you can train for hours a day on a normal diet?

        Read about this guys carb intake:

          Top amateur sports people have dietitians and doctors to advise them on what to eat.

          At the time Redgrave was winning his medals they nearly all advocated eating lots of carbs and glucose to have the quick explosive power you need for sports like rowing.

          Now the advice is different, and some actually say that some not all sports people can do well without eating carb stuff like pasta, rice and potatoes.

          However saying he was eating too many calories is stupid as it was the form the calories were in that was a problem for him. I'm sure the guys he rowed with, who are similar builds, were eating the same diet but as they didn't push their bodies for as many years they haven't suffered.

            Well I reckon I must be, this is exactly the point I am making here is someone who once he was diagnosed was able to make the choice to control his diabetes, he controlled it so well he was able to continue to compete at the highest level sadly many people who are not athletes choose to eat just like that then look for excuses as to why they end up ill

              I DNGAF how fit they are; that's huge strain on the liver and pancreas.

              Good luck with that!

                Like MF?

                Most top rank athletes have it easy. For an event up to 24 hours you can carb load. 1-2 days you can get by on sugar. After 2 days your body rejects food and you have to eat real food.

                  Keep up!

                  The advice now is not to carb load.
