So those with D type 2 can be thin? Why are they thin and why are some fat? You mean that body weight has nothing or no symptom effect / no relation?
I have seen some very very thin - lost a lot of weight from their original self. Also, I have seen many with swollen legs, why ah?
initially they can be fat. fat do reduce the sensitivity to insulin, thus may result in diabetes mellitus type 2. I have seen some very very thin - lost a lot of weight from their original self. Also, I have seen many with swollen legs, why ah?
as the disease progress, with poor control of the disease by medication or in the absence of medication, the body uses more and more energy from non-glucose source, from fats primarily, resulting in weight loss. if the weight loss is severe enough, the patient becomes thin.
swollen legs have many reasons, may or may not have relation with diabetes.
common reasons of swollen legs could be pregnancy, heart failure, varicose disease, lymph stasis....
