Could somebody tell me where to find statistics on obesity and type II diabetes?
Older F asked:
I am curious about the health risk of obesity and I wonder if anybody could point me in the general direction of stats that specifically monitor coronary heart disease in obese individuals without a family history. Secondly I am also interested in the number of individuals suffering severe health consequences as a result of Diabetes Type II (by serious I mean : amputations, strokes, blindness). PLEASE NOTHING ANECDOTAL

If you know the mom had gestational diabetes that was untreated, should the child be getting tested for diabetes in juvenile years? I know it does effect risk of obesity.
