Hell greatone,

Great question!

The true statement and answer you need is :

2) Most type II diabetics are obese. Number 1 is false.

To prove this answer is indeed correct, we can disprove number 1, or
prove number 2 true. I immediately chose to disprove answer number 1.
Here is what I was able to find. Most references are on medical sites
:

NSPA Personal Training Journal
"...and sometimes type II diabetics require insulin."
http://www.nspainc.com/journal11.htm

About diabetes
"...as many as 30% of Type 2 diabetics require insulin injections"
http://www.optium.com/canarie/diabetes.htm

PHC4
"...estimate that 40 percent of Type 2 diabetics require insulin
injections"
http://www.phc4.org/reports/mandates/656/overview_of_diabetes.htm


I couldn't resist proving the correct answer to be true as well :-)

Approval of Diabetes Education Program
"...healthy diet (most Type II diabetics are obese) and exercise..."
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/sboe/schedule/9901/diabetes.html

I hope this answers your question. Should you need more resources or
clarification, please ask before rating this answer as I would love to
be of assistance.

To help find this answer I searched Google for:

Most type II diabetics are obese
://www.google.com/search?q=%22Most+type+II+diabetics+are+obese%22

Type 2 diabetics require insulin
://www.google.com/search?q=%22Type+2+diabetics+require+insulin%22&


Thanks for the great question!
