Can you fit in your old jeans?

Today we are talking about a controversial statement made by one of the world’s leading diabetes experts. During a presentation at the annual conference of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University presented data in which he claimed that people who can no longer fit into the jeans they wore when they were 21 are at risk of having type 2 diabetes.

The netizens were outraged with people responding to this claim with bafflement and humour. As we all know, weight fluctuation is normal as we age. Also, what about genetics? Do they not make a difference when it comes to this particular study about diabetes? Here’s another thought: What if someone was bigger at age 21 than they are right now, wouldn’t they fit in their jeans from that time? Tell us what you think about this study.
