Default Hmmm... another way to read this study

I was thinking that based on this study, a Type I Diabetic (who doesn't produce insulin) with uncontrolled blood sugar would be considered healthy. They lose lots of weight, right? Their blood sugar is so high that without the insulin to bond with it, they burn a lot of fat (also damaging the rest of their body).

If fat loss is the only measure of health in this study, that's a pretty scary assessment.
