Gentlemen, what are your BMI and Waist size?

[Admiral Benbow]

Ok, for the gentlemen, just curious what are your BMI and waist sizes, and if you reversed your high blood sugars and are now in remission for Type 2, what were your numbers when you reversed it?

Currently, my BMI is 22, weigh 66 kg on a 173.4 height, and my waist around the belly button is 88 cm. I've lost 9 kg since the end of February and am hoping to get down to 63kg and a body fat of around 18-19%.

Just looking to see where everyone is at in terms of body composition.

Great question

My BMI on diagnosis in 2015 was 43.5 HbA1c 87 mmol/mol
My jeans size then was 44 inch waist so I guess real world about 48 inches..

I was in remission by Jan 2016 with a BMI of 38.7 HbA1c 36 mmol/mol not sure what waist size was.

Currently I sit at a BMI of 32.4 with most recent (24 Feb 23) HbA1c of 29 mmol/mol waist about 38 inches.

The lowest BMI I have ever been was 26.8 in March 2020 HbA1c around 27 mmol/mol waist probably 34 inches

Currently I sit at a BMI of 32.4 with most recent (24 Feb 23) HbA1c of 29 mmol/mol waist about 38 inches.

My HbA1c levels have been 30 mmol/mol or lower since Jul 2016.

I have a lot of data on my own health....

At diagnosis of T2 in Dec 2020 my BMI was about 26.4, HbA1c was 74 and waist was 41 inches. After 4-months on a trivially easy diet my BMI was under 21, HbA1c was 42 and waist 31 inches. Have strictly maintained all that ever since. I was amazed at how straightforward it had been. Reduce carbs, eat less, move more, don’t snack, don’t deviate, be ruthless: then there’s a chance of beating it, with some luck thrown in.

At DX in Mar 2018 I had BMI = 25.8 approx, HbA1c = 89, weight = 85kg approx, height = 181cm, waist = 100cm approx. Mr Apple-Bod!

I lost weight by cutting out crap and eating less. Stopped caring about carbs as such when I worked out they're not a thing except as part of "crap".

By Sep 2018 I had normalised, with BMI = 22.6, HbA1c = 40, weight = 74kg approx, waist = dunno (probably around 80cm judging from later numbers).

It wasn't that big a deal to get there.
