Just to condense a bit all of the information contained in the links above for people with less time on their hands than me :-Yes your susceptibility to liver and pancreas fat and how it affects your individual glucose metabolism is key to this. All true type 2s have fatty liver and pancreas and it is your personal fat threshold that decides when, if ever, you get type2. (But remember possibly as as high as 25% of type2s are misdiagnosed and will have another less common form of diabetes which will not be reversed by fat loss)
As it is stated, in review, some will get diabetes2 with 12% fatty liver etc others with 6% others will not get it with 18% that sees to be genetic. Abnormal intra-organ fat storage usually corresponds, in most ,people with being overweight or obese but can be seen at low bmi (21) in some people esp east asians and africans. It should be remembered that even at normal bmi you can still have up to 24kg of viseral fat.
Also it is mentioned that the 600/800kcal diet was purely to test a hypothesis as to why people who had bariatric surgery seemed to lose their diabetes. It is not needed and a 1200kcal/day or higher would be more appropriate for most. The average amount of weight loss shown to reverse diabetes was 20% when at an "obese" BMI of 31(aprox 25kg for a 5ft11man) but at low BMI it may only be 4-5kg.
