It makes sense. What I've heard is that sometimes muscles become insulin resistant before fat tissue, so fat is busily storing excess carbs and fatty acids as triglycerides while muscle isn't removing sugar from the blood as it should, hence rising BG. When the fat cells become insulin resistant, maybe it could aid in weight loss, though no lowering of glucose. The body isn't really stupid- it knows when it is overfed and needs to shed calories somehow. Anyway, I'm sure there is an interesting story there, but no time to research it. Have you found out anything further?

I was diagnoses as pre-diabetic (insulin resistant) about two years ago. At the same time I found out I had an underactive thyroid. Both have been under control with exercise but I still have trouble maintaining a healthy weight. If I stop eating healthy or exercising I put the weight right back on, EVEN when my thyroid levels are normal. If I was to guess, I'd say it probably has something to do with our body realizing something is wrong and trying to fix it. But who knows? Hopefully we will soon!
