Friday, August 24, 2007 at 08:16 PMThank you for this article. I am 56 YO female and was diagnosed with type II in February of this year. Most of what I have heard and read is that some how I caused this myself by being overweight. I am 5'6" and 203 lbs although I do not need much fuel to put pounds on. I have often felt in recent years that something was going on in my body that was causing weight gain. Even my husband has noticed that I do not eat as much as I look like. But I appreciate finally an article that helps with the guilt.

I'm glad you're finding this site useful.
