Wiser to lose the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to reverse the
underlying insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome or MetS) so that less
(or even no) medications will be needed to control blood glucose:

Where there is overeating even in type 1 diabetics, there will be
visceral adipose tissue (VAT).

Any ideas why this adverse effect of excess VAT occurs? There must be
an optimal level of VAT, but why do you suppose it is so dangeropus?
Closes (vascularly) to the liver? So subcutaneous belly fat would not
be as dangerous as VAT, perhaps? Why is a fat ass not as bad?
Does all adipose tissue do much the same thing?

There is not. VAT is pathological.

VAT releases inflammatory cytokines.

No.

Subcutaneous fat does not release inflammatory cytokines.

See above.

No.

While inflammatory cytokines from VAT are pathological, these same
inflammatory cytokines from leukocytes are vital for normal immune
system function especially in the setting of acute infection.

Yes, liver diseases are indicated;


"Diabetes is associated with some types of liver disease. For example,
poorly controlled blood sugar can increase your risk of nonalcoholic
fatty liver disease, also called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. This can
lead to scarring of the liver (nonalcoholic cirrhosis). Also, some
medications used to treat complications of diabetes, such as
cholesterol-lowering drugs, may cause liver damage.

On the other hand, some types of liver disease - such as
hemochromatosis - increase the risk of diabetes. Also, some
medications used to treat liver disease may increase blood sugar levels
enough to require treatment. These include steroids and lamivudine
(Epivir).

The VAT itself infiltrates the liver. A fatty liver is a liver
infiltrated by VAT.

The fatty changes occur because of overeating and not because of
systemic inflammation.
