[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1513406, member: 408573"] When my dn gave me the diagnosis of T2 she also gave me a raft of numbers including my BMI which she said was healthy but could I lose half a stone. Later that day I looked it up and the calculator said a healthy figure for my height was between 8 stone 6lbs and 11 stone 6lbs. Now, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but the disparity between those figures is quite wide. And what irked me was that on saying my weight was fine she then asked me to lose some. I understand about visceral fat but BMI is no indicator on that at all. [/QUOTE]
