Yes I agree with that Ellen.

Also Diabetes generally runs in families,often it has little to do with lifestyle, if it is in someones family there is a more than fair chance people will get it.

Also particularly with type 1 diabetes,which is treated by insulin in the main,if on high doses, insulin can add weight to a person too.
Which is why exercise is important, however that also needs to be counter balanced by the fact that diabetes is a debilitating condition, that regularly can leave those with it feeling very tired and worn out.

Easy to judge and mock, a lot harder to control and effectively deal with depending on the severity of it.

Good diet and exercise are important, again however many of those with diabetes often have other health issues too,which make controlling it even more difficult.

Of course being overweight with no other reason to possibly be should demand more is done from the person who is heavily overweight but to be made examples of, no way.
