[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1541433, member: 410240"] An ultrasound scan (can be requested by a GP and does not cost the NHS a lot) will show if there is fat round the liver and pancreas. This is one of the best method we have at present to tell if there is fat in the liver or pancreas as the MNR scanner they used at Newcastle is not a normal hospital scanner. If there is fat round the liver and pancreases is it likely to be of benefit loosing it regardless of BMI. Unless someone has had Type2 for a very long time, not having fat round the liver and pancrease will make me question if the Type2 label is the correct label for the person...... The recommendation in Michael Mosley book about not doing the diet if the BMI is below 21 is because of the risk that someone has a different type of diabetes and have incorrectly been told they have Type2, but if the presence of fat can be confirmed and in good health I don't think a lower BMI is a 100% reasons for someone not to lose weight. However "Intermittent Fasting" and/or LCHF (without leaving out the high fat) may be a better option for someone with a low BMI. Resistance training would be a [B]great [/B]regardless of the diet being used. (Remember it seems that between 5% and 25% of people who are told they have Type2 have a different type of diabetes that does not respond to the Newcastle Diet. It will be interesting to see how this has affected the results that will be published at the end of this year.) [/QUOTE]
