WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Becoming overweight or obese may not be so bad for people who are battling type 1 diabetes, the less common form of the disease, researchers said on Friday.

People who put on weight over time were less likely to die than others studied, and those classified as underweight were at the greatest risk for death, according to the study.

Even people who were technically obese were less likely to die if they had type 1 diabetes, the team at the University of Pittsburgh found.
Makes one wonder about the ACCORD failures for the
aggressive group doesn't it?

Perhaps it won't be long that other benefits to the weight
gain may be found for type II's? One has to wonder!
