Abstract:Background: Type 2 diabetes is common in relatively lean individuals in sub-Saharan Africa. It is unclear whether phenotypic differences exist between underweight and normal-weight African patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: We collected the demographic, clinical, anthropometric, and metabolic character… Show more
