Thanks DADofPotsSon for sharing your experience. The problem with my brother is he will take a ton of medications but always unwilling to give up overeating. The type II in our family is also heredity type (from Grandpa). My granddad had some other issues, but we are not sure if he had neuro muscular diseases or not. But today I am surely going to show your reply to my brother. If it awakens some sense into him to exercise a bit and control his diet.
