The Present
If you’ve been following me, you’ll know I’m pre-diabetic and obese. In recent days, I’ve been trying to figure out how I got here and what I should do next.
I’ve decided to believe I have a genetic predisposition to diabetes arising out of being the descendant of generations of South Asians who suffered famines in the past. Deeper dive here.
This predisposition makes South Asians (and other populations that survived famines) more susceptible to developing diabetes. It seems our ancestors evolved to survive the chronic shortages of food paradoxically by impairing insulin production.
