Abstract
About 1 in 10 Americans have diabetes and about 90 –95% of those with diabetes have Type II diabetes (CDC). We wanted to look at the affects of diet, sex, and genes to determine if they play a significant role in Type II diabetes. We performed a glucose tolerance test injected the F34 LG,SM advanced intercross line. We found that determined that these factors play a role in having Type II diabetes.

The Effects of a Low or High Fat Diet That Determines the Outcome of Diabetes
