> obesity seems to only replace some of your last years with years with diabetes, without decreasing your longevity That's probably only because we can generally manage diabetes pretty well, though it does impose a lot of cost on society to do so. |

We can but it requires the patient to manage their blood sugar very, very carefully and a lot of them can't do it 100% of the time. Whenever they don't, the damage happens and it accrues. I see a guy in the 'hood who's had much of his foot amputated as a result of diabetes.
Or so I've heard. I'm not diabetic myself.
