[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 2103953, member: 160246"] You're asking an important question. I'm taking your question seriously and asking for more information. What is his A1c? What is his fasting glucose level? What's his pre-meal glucose level and 2-hour post-meal glucose level? In other words, how do his glucose levels range throughout the day? How long has he had type 2 diabetes? Is he using insulin or any diabetes medications? [I]Please do not be offended. When I was in high school, I ate normally, but had the same BMI as your brother (which is in the underweight range). Many years later I learned I have a condition called subclinical HYPERthyroid.[/I] Is he, like I was, eating 3 meals a day and snacks, in other words normal amounts of food, or more food than others but still underweight? Or is he restricting his food intake? What kinds of foods is he eating throughout the day? Is he excessively exercising daily, or is he like I was, normally active, not doing anything unusual? I'm just trying to get a good understanding of what's going on with your brother. As you point out, his HOMA-IR score is not typical for someone with type 2 diabetes. Also, 35 is a bit early to develop type 2 diabetes, but if he was[I] previously[/I] consuming large amounts of starches and sugars, it's entirely possible. Even young children will develop type 2 diabetes if they are doing this. [/QUOTE]
