This confuses me. I am a T2. I am not obese, am instead flirting with
underweight (5'7", 115 pounds). However, my paternal aunt died of colon
cancer, as did my paternal grandfather. Obviously I have a hereditary high
risk, and thus am stuck with those horrible colonoscopies every 3 years. So
I am wondering if it may not be bad genes in my case, rather than diabetes.
