[QUOTE="onnecar, post: 1102147, member: 153437"] Just wondering if anyone else is a low weight type 2 diabetic like myself. Apparently there is a nick name for this called TOFI - Thin on the outside fat on the inside. Dr Michael Mosley, who advocated the 5:2 fast diet has this issue and explains it in the 5:2 diet book. I have recently started this diet as I would like not only to reverse my diabetes, but to address the problem with my lipids and fat storage, which stores itself around the visceral organs rather than the hips thighs etc. My HDL levels are really low (This is the good cholesterol that is needed to sweep the arteries of fat). Could use some positive comments and moral support on this. Joined the 5:2 Fast Diet forum and posted similar thing about wanting to hear from other TOFIs and received some rather offensive replies, telling me that at 5'3" and 61 Kilos I did not need to lose weight and should be looking at other medical issues. Also I was accused of a lack of understanding of the process. All I wanted was to communicate with other like minded people. Hoping I'll have more success on here. It seems that if you are not overweight then you haven't got a problem according to some. [/QUOTE]
