[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though you are not overweight by typical standards, do you carry the weight around your abdomen? Do you belong to an ethnic group that is higher risk for carrying abdominal fat, like South Asian or East Asian? If so, you may need to get visceral fat under control because it is a huge contributor to diabetes, and maybe a GLP-1 would help. But obviously this needs to be a convo with a doctor and endocrinologist. Wishing you the best. [/quote] Being not typically overweight IS actually the first clue it may not be T2D and its type 1 diabetes. Blows my mind that physicians today don't know this very obvious fact. [/quote] I know plenty of non-overweight relatives with type 2. They are not overweight by BMI standards, but look like they could stand to lose 10-15 pounds, all around the waist and thin otherwise. I belong to a higher risk ethnic group.[/quote]
