[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 2231028, member: 65903"] Well done on that HbA1c number. I wish I could get that low but I think I too would need a low low BMI to get there (currently 21). I too have always been skinny, ever since birth, and have struggled to gain weight healthily - I just cant build muscle. I did some research on this and turned up the Barker Hypothesis which correlates low birth weight (LBW) to adult metabolic disease. I don't know if this applies to you but it is worth a read as an explanation for some skinny T2's. The main vector for this relationship seems to be the role of skeletal muscle in glucose uptake. Low muscle mass compromises this and LBW results in lower than optimal adult muscle mass. An individual's 'potential' for building muscle as an adult is set at birth.
