[QUOTE="Cliff2, post: 153707, member: 22849"] Are obesity and T2 linked in some way? Probably yes, but links do not prove causation. Perhaps insulin resistance leads to obesity rather than the other way round. Imagine an insulin resistant person eating a high carb diet and then think of the pancreas working overtime to overcome the insulin resistance. Lots of insulin plus glucose that cannot be fully taken up by the muscles is not a good mix, given that the excess glucose is converted to triglycerides and laid down as fat around your stomach. Just a thought from a (now) normal weight T2. [/QUOTE]
