"The researchers found that the average thigh length of men and women with normal glucose tolerance was 40 centimetres. It was 39 centimetres for those with insulin resistance and 38 centimetres in those with diabetes. "
I should go home and measure my thighs! I do know though that I have really short legs...hmmmm.

LOL! I guess I must be the exception to the rule, I've got long legs, and my thighs are longer than 38 centimeters--which, according the the article is where they should be at if I diabetic--which I am!
woohoooo some other folks with shorter thighs... i was beginning to think i was the odd one out, as eveyone i know has longer femurs, whereas my tib & fib are longer than my femur... which is why i cant cross my legs very well....lol interesting to read that its associated with insulin resistance/ diabetes....
Shorter thighs here....I was doing Cardio Kickboxing just the other night and noticed that it didn't take much to touch my feet. How sad.
