If you don’t have many fat cells, the phenomenon described above will occur quickly, which means you have a very low personal fat threshold. If you have many fat cells, you can get much more overweight before it happens, which means you have a high personal fat threshold. This is why it is possible for a person to weigh 110 pounds and have type 2 diabetes. That person has a very low personal fat threshold. There are also people who weigh 350 pounds and do not show signs of insulin resistance because they have a very high personal fat threshold.
