I did acknowledge that andy's wife's diabetes wasn't lifestyle induced (as it is type I). I have never encountered type I being lifestyle induced (unless you'd count diabetes as a secondary complication of another condition)
The vast majority of type 2 is lifestyle induced. A patient coming through clinic who truly does have a leptin mutation or pancreatic b-cell failure not caused by hammering themselves with sugar is a rare event at the moment.
And therefore this is where the greatest proportion of diabetes money gets spent
