Thinner diabetics face higher mortality rate than heavier diabetics
Study compares rate of death following diabetes diagnosis among normal weight and overweight adults — Thinner diabetics face higher death rate — New-onset diabetics with normal BMI have higher mortality rate than heavier diabetics – American adults of a normal weight with new-onset diabetes die at a higher rate than overweight/obese adults with the same disease. A Northwestern Medicine study found that normal-weight participants experienced both significantly higher total and non-cardiovascular mortality than overweight/obese participants.
