What Are The Effects Of Weight Loss For T1?

[P17BULL]

I understand that for T2 is better to lose weight so that they have to feed less cells with insuline. Do the same benefits apply to T1? As first thought, I would imagine that the same amount of sugar is worse for your body if you are a small person... But probably I'm missing something. Could anyone clarify?

Hi @P17BULL In what context are you asking this ? As both conditions are completely different so it's impossible to compare like for like, so I am not sure what you are trying to find out.

I think the best point to make is that anyone who is overweight, regardless of T1, T2 or any other condition, benefits from getting their weight down to a healthy level. As a point of note, weight loss dcoesn't reduce the number of cells, it reduces the amount of fat in fat cells.

I'm just trying to figure out if a weight loss could improve my condition. I'm not fat, just 3/4 kg overweight. Maybe if I reach a BMI of 23 could I improve something.

Having had cancer in last year, I would have been better off if I had more weight on me apparently!!

each of us are so individual.. Some people look drawn with even a 3/4kg loss on bmi of 23...i think if you end up looking "drawn" then thats not a good sign for internal organs either.

Depends what the "something" is that you wish to improve.

BMI to me is an average measuring stick. Look at rugby players and their BMI's... You got to really figure out what that 3/4kg is going to do for your "something"......
