Type 1 diabetes, in which the body's insulin-producing capabilities are limited or non-existent, is not linked to body weight.

Whoever wrote this is a clueless idiot. T1 is linked to body weight? Huh?

I can see this being useful for long-term diabetics who have scar tissue built up from decades of shots/pump therapy. Insulin is less effective in those conditions. But I am *seriously* concerned about damage to the lungs from this product.

"It could become another treatment that will cause people to overeat and under-exercise."

And another prejudice idiot spews his tripe without the slightest idea of what the heck he's actually talking about.

I have to say that I don't understand your post. The sentence you quoted stated that IDDM was not linked to body weight. Perhaps you wrote a typo?
