Lisa;

I'm sorry for over looking your question. I'll try to answer it now. I am a type II diabetic on oral meds and diet. I was doing well on the diabetes BS control but my weight has changed in the last six months by 50 + Lbs. Partly due to water retension and severe edema caused by Avandia a anti diabetic med. I am off that for now and we will see how the control goes. As you can see there are a lot of factors to my current situation, so I have to sort them out one at a time. Thanks again for all the assistance. Jim
