Haha.

I’ve been lonely for years and I still have not contracted T2D

My comment was tongue and cheek

Mine was sarcasm (thus the smilie).

Social isolation might increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes, but equally having Type 2 diabetes might lead to people becoming less socially active.

So they’ve found a correlation, but that’s not causation.

Marriage might give me diabetes.
The Lady of the House is a low fat carbivore.

Loneliness = ice cream + chocolate fudge^2 * sprinkles. Carry the 1…insulin resistance…multiply by 3.14…diabetes of the 2nd degree

The math checks out, not sure what you people are missing

I should get a refund on my type 2 diabetes … as I am rarely alone, still got T2DM :slight_smile:

totally Mike, when I was at my heaviest and most depressive, guess what I was also very lonely and I got big, very big …

Total direct link between it all as sugar is the ultimate comfort food !
