[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 2021458, member: 325494"] One of the limitations of the DIRECT study is that they only selected patients with a BMI of 27–45 kg/m2. So people with Diabetes who have a lower BMI have not been used. However the results have then been generalised as if they apply to all people (including the 10-15% who are not "overweight") The discussion in the paper (helpfully linked by bulkbuilder above) says "[I]The present results suggestthat type 2 diabetes is a clinical consequence of accumulation of excess weight,in ectopic sites by susceptible individuals,even with a relatively low body mass index.[/I]" - but it didn't use subjects with low BMI I am not being critical of the approach, or people who try it. But suggesting it will work for everyone is not (in my opinion) supported by the evidence [/QUOTE]
