How does one differentiate between keeping blood sugar low with low calorie diet and exercise and the better functioning pancreas?

>Being overweight is tied to many diseases, and costs me a lot of money in health care costs. I have a say in this. If you have a say in this you might want to look at effective ways to push your message. We know from lots of research that merely yelling "GO FOR A JOG FATTY" does nothing to help fat people lose weight, and probably makes things harder for them.
> We know from lots of research that merely yelling "GO FOR A JOG FATTY" does nothing to help fat people lose weight Sources? That'd be some weird research. Regardless, it isn't my job to "fix" overweight people. They are welcome to their indulgences. I just do want to pay for the ill effects of bad habits.

But no, let's shame everyone who is fat for being overindulgent. Maybe having diabetes wouldn't be stigmatized so much if so many Type-1s didn't participate in it as well. (Non-diabetic here, I have no dog in this fight.)
