A member asked:
Are doctors usually aware of the medical term "lean diabetics"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not a medical term. It is a term that anybody would understand but not necessarily used in the clinical world. Lean diabetics may have a different pathophysiology of how diabetes came to be compared to those that are overweight; however both have deficient insulin status.
