"You've had a big jump from 44" to 36", that is dramatic! " I actually had a 34" waist before I became ill. Eleven years ago I did manage to get my waist back to 34". That was just 2 years after it had hit 44". After that it went back to 40" in just a few months. Since then it has been 40" or less. Web sites have articles linking waist size to diabetes risk. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050325150149.htm"Having an abdominal circumference of more than 88 cm (35 inches) in women and 102 cm (40 inches) in men indicates the highest risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4258208.stmOther articles claim that waist size is a better indicator of risk for colon cancer or risk for breast cancer than BMI.
