Maybe chronic inflammation causes diabetes. Recently, it's been observed that the rate of new diabetes cases is declining, while obesity keeps going up. Nobody knows what's going on, even though we are bombarded with theories. I remember (I think) reading a long time ago about how someone had linked insulin resistance to pain nerves (or maybe taste nerves, I forget) found in the pancreas - even though you don't perceive with them consciously. I wonder if anything came of that research. |

I doubt that it's that straight forward. Inflammation is associated with both chemical derangement and infection. Probably other things as well, like allergic reactions.
Insulin resistance has also been linked to inadequate muscle mass more strongly than to excess fat per se.
