Is this due to factors beyond the control of people? ie. genes?
Gene predispositions likely haven’t increased, though perhaps the proportion of people having children with gene predisopositions have.
Ultimately, it’s due to people with lifestyles that our bodies are not designed for and not moving/exercising enough, with a small amount due to family history/genetic reasons.
There have also been signs that Covid has caused / can cause organ damage throughout the body, including the pancreas and that there was a noticeable trend of folks getting diabetes after Covid. While I’m sure lifestyle and diet will do a lot of heavy lifting in taking the blame in these discussions, endocrine disrupters, environmental pollutants, and Covid are likely not insignificant contributors to the increase in diabetes.
