One of the insidious aspects of diabetes is that as as you gain weight often your become more and more resistant to insulin, unfortunately, the more you resist, the hungrier you get. The cycle is a bitch to break and is like the cause behind many undiagnosed diabetics rapid weight gain. If they don't know they have it they can go years without even knowing they are diabetic and often the lions share of the weight comes on after their cells become resistant to insulin.

Increased hunger. Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger.

It is easy to imagine how, prior to the ACA, people could go years, even decades or their whole lives without being diagnosed.

How easy would it be to develop negative food habits when no matter how much you eat or drink, satiation never comes?

So to loose weight you need more exercise?

Fatigue - If your cells are deprived of sugar, you may become tired and irritable.

Tough to exercise with undiagnosed Type 2 because you are always tired. Always napping after a meal. Always craving.

Read up an learn please. This idea that if we just don't eat donuts we'd never have to worry is a gross oversimplification that fuels the idea that diabetics are fat lazy and of low moral character.

I see it all the time. It needs to end.
