[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2074713, member: 6467"] Please note that I am not concerned that I have anorexia in a dangerous way. I was more speculating that many of the people who have dramatically reduced weight and reported to this forum may in fact be showing similar behaviour patterns to those who are clinically diagnosed as anorexic. I noted that I was denying myself food when hungry (so dieting) and also losing interest in food once the hunger pangs had subsided. Hmmm....is it body dysmorphia or an accurate risk assessment? I consider my waist measurement to be close to the "at risk" level. I've only just got it below 36" which is (allegedly) the largest that it should safely be for someone 72" tall. As a slim T2 I (allegedly) have to work harder to get rid of any visceral fat which may be reducing the functionality of my liver and especially my pancreas. Mr. Picky says that it isn't in the middle but over to the right a bit. 21.75 would be middle, and I'm not convinced that black pointer is in the right place. :) I do find it alarming that 9 stone 11 lbs ( 2 stone plus below my current weight) is still considered a healthy weight! I had the chance to chat with Professor Roy Taylor a couple of years back and he said that a target to give me a good chance of reducing or reversing diabetes symptoms was to aim for the weight and waist measurement I had in my late teens/early 20s. That would be 11 stone 7 lbs and a 32" waist. My current view is that weight comes second to waist measurement for T2 diabetes. The big problem is visceral fat which is impeding the functionality of the liver and pancreas so reducing the visceral fat is a major target. I am one of those unfortunates where fat will go from almost anywhere before going from my gut. I suspect that if I can get down to 11 stone 7 lbs then my waist measurement may come down an inch or so. Then we will see if it has made any difference to my BG control. At the moment my fasting BG seems to be between 6 and 7 which is not ideal. [/QUOTE]
