  I never claimed they weren't. I asked about the safety of diabetics on low calorie diets. I have no idea how stringent the entry criteria was for this study, they could have picked the [otherwise] healthiest diabetics they could find. Which brings us back to the question I asked, which was how this could scale to older or in worse health individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes? Even with medical supervision.
