[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2138042, member: 479176"] It does seem that the fat higher in the abdomen is either a symptom or cause of diabetes. Personally I think a symptom because when the muscles stop absorbing glucose because of insulin problems, the unused glucose is turned to fat. Where better for the body to store fat than close to the liver and pancreas where it is available for converting back to glucose when the body needs it. This fat may also prevent the pancreas from working properly. I am not a medical specialist but this is my take on what has happened to my body over the past year. My waist size has gone from 38 inches to 30 inches in 12 months coinciding with the drop in my A1cs. Unfortunately unless we cut the carbs (a lot) and exercise as much as we can, the fat will continue to build up. We must and can change this upward spiral of bad fat into a downward spiral of A1cs if we want to control our condition. It may take a while and we must only do what works and how it works for ourselves. [/QUOTE]
