Hi Clive
There are a couple of papers I am aware of on this
Jodi Booth & Mathew Young (Southampton Uni) published in Diabetes care 23(7)
983-988 ,2000
McGill., M et al , Diabetes Care 22(4) 598-602, 1999
Both papers are available via Medscape at www.medscape.com you will need to
register but this is free.
There also is someone at Torbay who has been doing some research for a PhD
in this area, but this has not been published yet. If you want further info
let me know
Lyndon
