What is the causes of diabities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly obesity: There are two kinds of diabetes. Type 1 is a genetic accident, or bad luck. It comes on in childhood usually and is a lack of insulin. Type 2 is more likely with a family history, but is strongly tied to obesity. It is caused by a resistance to Insulin initially, rather than a lack of it. I have seen diabetes type 2 go away with enough weight loss.
