[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 124237, member: 15487"] You are correct, and I applaud your attention to detail. But I try to avoid using the term "risk factor" in public discussions, as lay people tend to misunderstand it, thinking it means causative, rather than correlative. It is true that there is an association between obesity and Type 2 diabetes. And there can even be an improvement in blood sugar control when Type 2 diabetics lose weight. But that does not mean that gaining weight, in and of itself, causes Type 2 diabetes. A subtle distinction, but an important one. [/QUOTE]
