[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 866419, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome, There are many reasons why people get type 2, so the weight thing is a bit of a red herring. It is generally true that type 2s are overweight at diagnosis, but it is more of a symptom than a cause, for many people. Like Mike, I would go to your GP with your test results, but be prepared for them to resist a bit. Docs often seem to dislike people educating themselves. And you are not going to fit neatly into the fat, middle aged type 2 sterotype, so you may need to be persistent before they take you seriously. Personally (and I have no medical training) I would suggest you ask for investigation into your metabolic/endocrine situation. If you eat well, and are under weight, then something is going on, but it may not be to do with your liver and pancreas. Hopefully you can use the ECG as a doorway to ask for more investigations.
