There's a great deal of current speculation that diabetes is the cause of obesity. But that getting obesity in check will control the diabetes.

Sorry for your need to change your lifestyle.

As long as you don't get into the "this stuff is wonderful everybody should try it" style, it should be fine. Who knows, maybe you'll see some weird things going on while you're out there.

So, sailor, you got the good news too? I had the same talk with my MD, and have dropped from 333 to 301 in about 8 weeks. Weight Watchers and being really aware of when I've not hungry vs. when I'm full has been the key. Oh, and staying away from a lot of our favorite restaurants :-(

Anyway, welcome back, we're always glad to hear from you.
