I have yet to see a type 2 diabetic who didn't eat excessive quantities of carbohydrates before developing the condition. The details of the exact causative mechanism are interesting, but largely irrelevant from a prevention perspective.

My point is that David Goggins is nothing special. He isn't a superhero from the planet Krypton. Anyone can choose to do those things (or at least lesser versions of them). Some people just prefer to sit on the couch eating cookies.
