[QUOTE="Roytaylorjasonfunglover, post: 840826, member: 166184"] Somebody already mentioned the TOFI situation, and this could be relevant in this case. Type-2 diabetes does have very much to do with genes, and people get prediabetic or diabetic,at very individuals levels of weight. Just look at the remarkable examples mentioned in this wikipedia article about the subject. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOFI[/URL] . You can have too persons of the same gender,age,bmi and bodyfat, but one will have 5.86 litres of internal visceral fat, the other will have 1.65 litre.
