> Sugar has a relatively high caloric density and can be addictive, leading to obesity.

Blood sugar triggers the release of insulin to clear it from the blood. Insulin is a hormone that puts the body into an anabolic state so all cells and in particular fat cells begin to store the sugar from the blood. There is a correlation between obesity and T2D, but not causation.

This is why not all T2D patients are obese, rather in every case of T2D you will find someone that regularly consumed sugar/carbs.

That's not true either. You can definitely develop type 2 diabetes without eating carbohydrates.

Can you link to any medical case where the patient did not consume any carbs/sugars and still became insulin resistant?

If a patient consumes no carbs, there would be no high levels of blood sugar, no need for insulin to clear excess sugar from the blood…so I’d really like to see what the medical treatment would be for such a patient.
