[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1234935, member: 44622"] I think it's because they run out of places to put the spare glucose before anyone else might and so miss out the stage of getting fat and go straight to diabetes. Fat cells exist in certain parts of the body and accept triglycerides at those places but if you have no fat cells you are stuffed. I was watching a Gary Taubes lecture where he said that someone had a skin transplant on their hand and the skin used was from a fat area so now they get a fat hand. Also I remember films about the Kalahari Bushmen who have fat cells mainly in their buttocks and look quite odd when they put on weight. As for the relationship between diabetes and fat I have always viewed it as the same thing that makes you fat also gives you diabetes and so I regard the fat as a symptom. If you are into professors Unger and Lustig then visceral fat plays a huge part. It seems that fructose (table sugar is 50% fructose) and alcohol are metabolised into fat directly in the liver and as this builds up you reach a point where the pancreas goes mammeries up. Any glucogon produced by the alpha cells does not see the highly concentrated insulin normally produced by the beta cells because they are glued up. Unger says that injecting insulin is a crude way of correcting this. It's better than dying I suppose. [/QUOTE]
