    Lack of individual advice for skinny T2D

    Non overweight type 2 are probably lean diabetics. They are mostly in poverty countries but I know they are in the UK, and yes some are white. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4434081/ Your doctor is unlikely to know about it!

    Continuous blood sugar reading devices
