Those are both mistakes. BMI is "body mass index" and it is
an index that relates height and weight... BF is "body fat"
and it is the percentage of the body that is fat. They are
related, they correlate somewhat, but they are not the same.

In any case, what I was not mistaken with is that a body fat
of 12% does not correlate with a body mass index of 26... so
I still say one or the other is not true in the same person.

I think that a man of 5'10" that weighs 185 pounds is not 12%
body fat, and my guess is that you are about 25%...
Body fat can be calculated with tables which correlate the
waist and/or wrist and height and weight, or with instruments
like the Tanita or Omron body fat scales which pass an electric
current through the body and measure the resistance and give an
approximate answer... or more exactly by other methods. It would
be interesting if you would check this in a more accurate way,
not onl with the Omron or the Tanita, but with calipers that
measure the size of belly fat, number of inches around your
wrist, etc.

I also wrote this, and forgot to include the link so you can
"see in great detail" how my glucose went from below 100 to
160 in 35 minutes, and back down to 120 in 35 minutes (it
surely would have continued to go down if I had not eaten lunch
at that time)...
