This reminded me of the clues found in extreme athletes, like Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple. String-bean physiques on marathon runners is not a guarantee of dodging diabetes. I also think that phenotype varies the way our symptoms of metabolic derangement are expressed.

Great, insightful comment, WB. The reason I used the term phenotype (instead of genotype) is due to the fact that our genes are expressed in part due to our genetic makeup, and most likely in a larger part by our environment, which includes everything we are exposed to including what we eat and drink. In addition to Mark Sisson, we can include Tim Noakes, Mark Cucuzzella, and Sami Inkinen, who were competitive endurance athletes with little body fat who had to fight diabetes. Yes, we are all unique in certain ways we respond to foods and how our genes are expressed, but achieving a good degree of metabolic health levels the "playing field" and makes life a lot easier.
