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.
