Excess fat in the liver limits glucose storage (glucogen) and excess fat in the muscle lessens glucose uptake.
Both those effects make a long distance runner less efficient.

How does that affect efficiency?
Efficiency is the wrong word. It reduces power.
You're conclusion is that diabetes negativity affects long distance runners?
Way before T2DM is diagnosed, even before prediabetes, the increase of fat in the liver and the muscles reduces the amount of glycogen in the liver and the amount or better the speed with which glucose enters the working muscle.
And fat finds its way to the liver and muscles when the sc tissues are saturated with it.
This is one of the reasons why being overweight or obese reduces your ability to run.
Ok, but what about a skinny person with diabetes?
That is why I write for Type 2 DM.
Type 1 DM is a differrent animal.
Skinny with T2DM are small minority and usually have impaired insulin secretion.

As a phd who actually does T2D research, I kindly advise you to stfu and stop posting out of your butt.
This has been found from diabetes research but the important is not the diabetes.
The important point is that the fat which gets in the liver and muscles causes reduced glycogen in the liver and reduced glucose transportation in the muscle.
Where are doing your phd? And nice language by the way. With what do you not agree?

15% of those with type 2 are underweight or at a healthy weight.
Yes. And they have MODY (maturity onset diabetes of the young or other reasons for insulin deficiency).
Go back to your nursing school now...
And do not forget the TOFIs. Thin outside fat inside. Although I do not agree with names like that in medicine.
So, do you have any tips for runners type 2?
Thanks. This is a random thread but I'm glad I clicked on it. Do you have any other running related takeaways from diabetes research?
Also, is there any way to tell if you are TOFI without medical testing?
Eat enough carbs and diabetes and/or Alzheimer's is a guarantee, unless some other tragedy befalls you first. There are sub-2:20 marathoners with T2.
Are you getting your PhD in trolling? Or do you want people to not understand the difference between type 1 and type 2?
Hi. Usually MRI shows the fat around the organs, which is the so called bad fat. Dr Lustig has done interesting research on fatty liver. Check him out. He is famous now for the sugar leads to obesity.
