Low weight diabetic type 2 people

Worth remembering that the older we get the lower our personal fat threshold (the thing that makes us get fatty livers and sometimes develop T2) often becomes. Muscle mass and fitness levels often diminish with time, while fat deposits shift in distribution. Often, with middle age, we get apple shaped and our once muscular limbs get less muscly and more... um... stringy.

Subcutaneous fat (the thing that makes you look slim, or not slim) is irrelevant to the personal fat threshold, so it is perfectly possible that you may need to slim down to a BMI of 19 or below, in order to get below your liver's personal fat threshold. Or that you may never get below it. We have had a number of people post on here with MUCH lower BMIs than you who have not achieved it.

Plus of course there are a significant number of T2s who do NOT have diabetes because they have exceeded their personal fat thresholds. There are many other reasons why T2 develops.

I guess we all have to factor these things in.

Sorry I find it difficult to tell who's typed what on here. I was looking at the squares at the side. I find it confusing. I've had this problem for a long long time so it's not news to me. The only thing I have learnt more recently is how the fat issue is linked to diabetes and how fasting can help more than just normal dieting. There are never any guarantees but there is no magic cure for his via the medical proffession as I was referred to an expert regarding this. He seemed in favour of me trying this approach. I have nothing to lose. I've tried all the usual dieting options which have made absolutely no difference to my lipids issue.
