I googled "diabetes in thin people" and found the term "skinny fat", slim but with a high percentage of body fat. These are people who may appear to their body to have enough fat stored to survive a tough winter. (This was how McDougall describes the onset of diabetes.) Can people with low body fat get diabetes?

Did you mean, can a person with low body fat get Type 2 diabetes?
yes
Dominique Wilkins has type 2 diabetes. I would imagine his body fat is pretty low.
