Eating at Fast-food Restaurants More than Twice Per Week is Associated with More Weight Gain and Insulin Resistance in Otherwise Healthy Young Adults
Well, someone who has already contracted the disease is actually at risk. You're in the state where a piano might fall on your head and kill you, too, and not really at risk of developing diabetes, unless you spend all your time outside airports eating fast food. Seriously, this is probably one of the most ridiculous assertions I've heard in some time. To suggest that you are at risk of developing diabetes - and DIE from it - because you'd have to eat in an airport is crazy.
