I was reading a 800 pages lecture on diabetes by a famous nutritionist and Ph.D It seems, according to his review on medical literature, that insulin resistance doesn't occur on lean, thin, non-overweight or normal-weight people He also says that the only cases known of insulin resistance in non-overweight people is seen on people suffering from lipodystrophy (that's usually linked with retrovirals drugs) Nevertheless, he also says that 8 pounds overweigth are sufficent to cause problems related to insulin resistance and losing that 8 pounds in excess will reverse insulin resistance Of course, it's still argueable what is underweight and overweight as Metlife charts are without doubts unreliable and personalized BIA, DEXA, NIR and Underwater Weighing should be performed to known exactly your ideal weight It isn't still clear yet if underweight people who have a high body fat percentage (30-40%) can be considered obese despite being underweight and if their high body fat mass levels can be linked to insulin resistance Bottom line: thin people are almost never insulin resistant Is that true ?
Is there anyone here who is diabetic, insulin resistant and underweight ?

Have a look at these:

Thank you So, it seems that I was right when guessing that low body weight with high body fat mass levels compared to lean body mass levels is literally obesity, even though the person appears normal weight or even underweight I know there are a lot of people with low body weight and 40-45% fat mass and are technically obese Dr Michael Colgan claims that at his clinic a lot of underweight and anorexic girls were actually obese because of their high fat mass percentage
Sorry I have lack of time at the moment to check all the references given here. What about lean or underweight persons with low fat body mass. They are equally prone to type 2 diabetes? In my case .I have BMI 18 and my body fat is 9% or does this mean I am obese.
