Why Am I Fat If My BP And Glucose Are Normal?
I am a 37 year old very over weight and pregnant, my glucose test was 86 and my blood pressure is 118/80 if these are good then why am I fat? I haven't gained any weight in the 20 weeks I've been pregnant but I get frustrated with being fat and having good stats

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It can be difficult to be over weight or obese and while this condition increases the risk of diabetes, high cholesterol or heart disease, it is not a fore gone conclusion that everyone person with increased weight will have these conditions.
The risk of getting these diseases increases but not all persons will have at a given time.
Reducing weight would help to reduce the chance of any of these occurring.
I hope this helps
