my first visit to an indocrinologist

[Guest guest]

Someone observed:

" are you joking. two hundred pounds at six feet is not bad. two hundred and

thirty pounds at six feet would make you slightly obese. "

Me:

The term used was " close " to obesity. 200 pounds at 6 feet has a bmi of

just ovr 27. This is in the over weight range half way to obisity.

A weight of 225 for 6 feet is obese.

Because the height was not offered, this was offered as a way to guage

weight as a factor in insulin resistance. The person has subsequently

offered his height and his bm in the overweight range.
