sigh Plenty of people here didn't even read the coverage.

While the authors note that more research is needed to fully explain the association between cannabis and diabetes, it may come down to insulin resistance and unhealthy dietary behaviors.

That seems likely, but right now the science is only correlative, not causative. This was just a big statistical analysis. Hopefully some focused mechanistic studies follow.
