So whether you develop diabetes or not, if you're not capable of keeping the weight off naturally then you're going to be on it for life.
nobody is naturally overweight. find me an overweight person who spends their days hunting or foraging for food in the woods who is overweight. people dont naturally have access to easy cheap calorically dense food. the issue is doctors treat symptoms of our modern life instead of going after the issue (we arent meant to have access to 1500 calorie delicious meals for cheap at all times) and a doctor gets nothing from explaining how insane that is and how you shouldnt do it because they dont pay them, people saying to drug you do. So they drug you. The true long term answer is for us to change our habits. But thats hard and makes less people money so it wont happen.
