I have two coworkers with type 2 diabetes who are both enormously fat and take a pharmacy of meds. Another coworker is well on his way - diagnosed prediabetic, taking medications, and gaining weight. The prediabetic one's dad died of diabetes a few years ago and his mom is currently dying of it.
None of these three is making any lifestyle changes at all. They all eat sweets freely and don't exercise at all. I'm sorry. They're contributing to their own problems. I'm sorry if that sounds like I'm blaming them. I believe they have a genetic predisposition, and there are people who (seemingly) can eat all the crap they want and not become diabetic. (I have a couple of coworkers in the latter group too.) It's not fair, but it doesn't justify doing the very things that will deepen the problem.
