[quote=Anonymous]Have you talked to an experienced endocrinologist?  We have t2 diabetes in my family and a genetic variant in which people get it even at relatively thin body weights.  I have a relative that specializes in studying diabetes and this is a really developing field but there are now some genetic tests to test for specific variants.  My brother who is very thin and fit was diagnosed with either diabetes or pre diabetes in his 60s and was able to totally beat it back with no medicine with some diet changes.  I’m not against the meds — my dad was on them for decades.  But I would definitely talk to an endo that specializes in this because you obviously aren’t the typical t2 case and there’s some question about whether people with these genetic variants should be treated in different ways.  I’m sorry I’m not totally up on the most recent research — my dad has passed now and as I said my brother has beat it back with diet changes so we haven’t had to keep totally up to date.  [/quote]
