[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 683770, member: 88961"] I'm one of those "thinnies", at 160cm tall, weighing 49kg and a matching BMI of 19.1. At diagnosis I carried a few more pounds, but I wasn't outrageously overweight. OK, at the outset I did lose weight and it took some application to stop the weight loss. I would have been content to have levelled a couple of kilos more than I am now, but, that's life. We all have our challenges with this thing, and we just have to apply ourselves to it. Diabetes per se requires active management. If a diabetic wants an easy ride, with a definite, fail-safe way of managing it, they'll be disappointed or searching for a long time. If anything, those who are carrying weight may be more likely to have trickier insulin resistance, which can take a lot of shifting. I would say we thinnies have it easier. Fat, thin or in between, we all have to work at it, but I don't think it's a fat/thin thing, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
