[QUOTE="Roytaylorjasonfunglover, post: 859009, member: 166184"] Hello, there is more and more evidence that bmi alone is not that good of a indicator in you are in danger of getting diabetes. What is much more important is how your fat is stored, and where gets deposited. So you can for instance have a bmi of 19, well inside the normal range, and be diabetic, but you can also have a bmi of over 40 and have perfectly good sugars and cholesterol. I know people of both types. And you cannot se on people what kind of fat they have, you need a magnetic resonance scanner, but there is loads of examples in the medical literature. Here are some stunning examples of how bmi,bodyfat,and waistline is not that good of an indicator of visceral fat as you would think.
