Quote:You yourself said that most of keeping those levels stable is what you eat, and we know that insulin resistance has a strong correlation with unhealthy lifestyles. It doesn't have to be total prevention for it to benefit us as a society through reduced utilization, and since we don't know who prevention will work for, it's best if everyone is required to adhere to a guideline for diet, exercise, BMI and the like. Improving health care is about much more than just who pays how much for what, it's about limiting the number of people who require those resources. 

I was commenting on you saying diabetes is preventable as you were meaning if you eat right and exercise you won't get it which is false...You can eat the most healthy as humanly possible and work out every day and still get this nasty disease...Unhealthy eating is certainly a major factor in getting diabetes but it's not the only factor... You could be a health freak and in tip top shape but if one of your parents has/had diabetes you stand a good chance of getting it too...Or who knows, you could be healthy as can be and come down with a gal bladder problem, or your pancreas just doesn't want to work right and become a diabetic... Keeping glucose levels stable isn't the same as being cured or prevented... You are just trying to be an [BAD WORD REMOVED]...
