The majority of people with "Type 2" who are also obese would be asymptomatic (i.e., "remission") if they went down to a healthy weight. (Type 2 patients who are not overweight or obese aren't so responsive to diet.)

It's almost like there should be a different name for the disorder people get who are obese who develop Type 2 diabetes. Maybe "Type O" diabetes?
