Breaking down diabetes: New controversy on blood sugar lowering
I took the time to read these articles, and I don't see any ringing endorsement for what you are proposing. What do you find encouraging in those articles?
You may have had some good arguments on the religious stuff, but you have not done your homework on this topic. Note the quote from the second article:
quote:
At face value, the ADA argument appears to favor drug companies selling the newest diabetes medications. The statement suggests that low blood sugar (a common side effect of many diabetes medications) is not really a problem as long as the newest medications are used, often at a cost of $500 to $700 per month for each drug.
Has anyone attempted to prescribe drugs costing anything like there amounts (500-700 dollars per month) to you? Is that really what the debate is about? I understand the concern about the profit motive of the pharmaceutical industry, but metformin, based on what I see on the internet, costs about 20 dollars a month, with generic versions being about 10 dollars a month. Are you really being given the kind of advice that is the subject of this article? Are you having low blood sugar episodes?
You seem to approach medicine the same way you approach many other subjects and your success so far seems mixed.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World.
