They don't say anything in this short article, but the major cause of Diabetes type II is the body has less sensitivity to insulin...
SYNDROME X or Metabolic syndrome is decreased sensitivity to insulin, and increase in tendency toward obesity...then you get high blood pressure, either from obesity or from the diabetic kidney damage.
There are other herbs that do this, but don't have the links right now...
It's probably genetic...and I always figured it meant that in times of famine, these people would conserve calories and live instead of dying of starvation...
An interesting fact is that when you see this in American Indians (where it is very very common) you also see Acanthosis nigricans...AKA dirty neck syndrome. Indeed, if you see a huge Indian with a grey neck, check his or her blood sugar... and if you see it in a Non Indian, worry about cancer (unless they are an Okie: most of our people have Native American ancestors).
Acanthosis nigricans. A diffuse hyperplasia of the spinous layer of the skin, acanthosis nigricans is recognized clinically by areas of hyperpigmented and at times hyperkeratotic, velvety plaques, typically in a symmetrical distribution. The frequently involved areas include the locations prone to intertrigo, such as the axillae, groin, and intergluteal fold, as well as the neck and antecubital and popliteal fossae (see photo below).
