Lung capacity declines faster with diabetes: http://www.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=613906 > Lung capacity declines faster with diabetes: > > http://www.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=613906 That's why at the age of 60 I ride my butt off on my bicycle, Robert. I figure the bastards are trying to get me, and I'll make it as hard for them as possible... Henry Mydlarz Hmmph. My lung capacity has probably *improved* in the 10 years I've had diabetes -- because I actually exercise enough to make them *work*. bj >> Lung capacity declines faster with diabetes: >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Henry Mydlarz Therefore, it remains much smarter to seek a possible cure to type-2 diabetes by eating less, down to the right amount: http://HeartMDPhD.com/BeSmart A simple parable in hopes of promoting understanding: http://HeartMDPhD.com/Parable Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be euglycemic: http://TheWellnessFoundation.com/BeHealthy Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

AFAIK, lung tissue repairs itself, at least slightly? - so further damage would hopefully be stopped with tight control. Nicky.

Not while black fat (VAT) persists because it is more likely that the pro-inflammatory adipocytokines is what is causing more damage in type-2 diabetics than high glucose stiffening lung tissue.
