AB Persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially the obese, tend to have more visceral fat than persons with type 1 [Gallager D et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2009]. The hallmarks of diabetes are obesity and weight gain, mainly involving abdominal fat, and approaches to addressing these are discussed in this article. Other topics include the targeting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and waist circumference and the risk of cardiovascular disease.
