Wayne,

I don't know of any direct link of weight-loss vs DE, nor any research

in that direction.

Weight-loss will lower Insulin Resistance(IR), and generally result in

easier control & lower overall bg's. Logic would say that the DE

should lessen, but I have heard no evidence supporting that theorem.

Best way is to lose some weight, test & see what happens to DE.

If you do, please report your results back to us.

Sorry, no definitive answer.

, T2, dx'ed 4/98, controlling with LC, average bg 100mg/dl, last
