What’s normal

I was diagnosed when 57, 6 ft and 14.5 stone.
Taking off a couple of stone (a bit slowly) improved things a lot.
I didn't have an ultrasound scan but things have no doubt changed since 2007.
I wonder if they are checking the amount of visceral fat?
This is an important factor in developing diabetes and also (by losing it) in better control.

I have also had gout, but I suspect that may have been more due to drinking beer than the diabetes.

Looking back, if I had lost the weight much more quickly I would probably be better than I am today, although at 15 years diagnosed and still on diet and pills I am not doing too bad.
Currently just under 12 stone.

I suspect the ultrasound as littlegreycat said, is to measure visceral fat, probably to see if he is a good fit for the latest low calorie program the NHS are offering. I never had one done 4 years ago, but within 3 months of low carbing, my Hba1c was back in non diabetic numbers anyway.
