A case may be made that loss of testosterone of old age may result in diabetes type 2. Statins are known to reduce testosterone levels.
It is my hypothesis that testosterone is increasing within the population. This increase causes an earlier peak of testoterone which is followed by an earlier decline in testosterone within the population. This may explain why diabetes type 2 is increasing.

Statin Drugs are horrible and dangerous. No one needs a statin drug for cholesterol. Researchers in Denmark showed that a specialized diabetes diet reversed the need for statin drugs. The specialized diabetes diet is now used by those without diabetes to lose weight and stop statins. just google SPIRIT HAPPY DIET

How a terrifying wedding night accident forced me to discover the secret to banishing diabetes for good! After champagne and wedding cake, my diabetic husband crashed to the floor. As the ambulance pulled away, I made up my mind to wage war against diabetes.
I was amazed at the amount of information available.
Unfortunately, over-information and mis-information were a big part of the problem. One doctor recommended a certain type of drug while other doctors recommended a different type while still others spoke out against drugs all together.There was a sea of diet charts, food graphs and medical manuals. I was tempted to give up.
But I Finally Cracked The Code And Stopped Diabetes Cold! http://yourdiabetescure.com/index_nl.php
