In the US, over 45% of the population has either diabetes or pre-diabetes 1. The absolute majority of those with diabetes have type 2 diabetes, which is usually associated with excess visceral fat and poor cardiometabolic health. Because a diagnosis of diabetes is very likely to shorten your life. Pre-Diabetes.

Asthma significantly increased the prevalence of stroke among participants aged 1844 years old, with a BMI 18.5029.99kg/m2, with low education levels, and with a PIR<1.00. Asthma also increased the prevalence of angina in females, non-Hispanic Blacks, participants aged 4559 years old, with a BMI30.00kg/m2, and with a PIR<1.00.

Excess weight, as measured by BMI, is typically considered a measure of excess body fat. Excess visceral fat results in a higher risk of insulin resistance, which is the precursor state to diabetes. When someone is classified as being of ‘normal’ weight, that typically means they have a BMI of less than 25.

There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1] These individuals tend to have a better prognosis when compared to both individuals with normal weight (BMI of 18.5

A 10 to 15kg weight loss in those who are overweight can reverse diabetes in 57% of patients with diabetes 1. Even in diabetics of normal weight (BMI<27), weight loss can reverse diabetes 2. 2018 Feb 10;391(10120):541-551. Diabetes 70(Supplement 1):1184-P What should you eat to do this?

Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.
