Could somebody tell me where to find statistics on obesity and type II diabetes?

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

Type 2 Diabetes is caused by a mulititude of factors. Just because you are overweight, that is not the only reason you are diabetic. Stanford University also found out that 2 protien genes get turned OFF when a person becomes type 2 Diabetic. Usually you become Diabetic because it is in your genetic coding. Ask your doctor. Being overweight alone is not why you are Diabetic. I asked several doctors who were recognised by the American Diabetes Association. If your doctor is telling you that you are Diabetic cause you are overweight, then you need to find another doctor.
