[QUOTE="caroline_92, post: 1626076, member: 126167"] Whilst visceral fat is not always related to other fat, it often is. Having no waist, or one that is too big, is a sure sign of 'issues'. According to the main diabetes.co.uk website: Harvard University note around 10% of our total fat is likely to be stored as visceral fat. So if you are carrying higher amounts of body fat than is recommended, it is therefore more likely that you are also storing more visceral fat than is healthy. An MRI scan will reveal visceral fat and these aren't part of the standard NHS diabetes checks! [/QUOTE]
