This article makes sense to me. After I'd been diagnosed and went on medication, I slowly gained weight over a period of several years, to the point where I had to sit down with my doctor to pinpoint the problem, and lo and behold, it turned out that later clinical studies of the drug I was on showed weight gain in a fairly significant percentage of patients. Once he put me on a prescription weight loss med in conjunction with exercise and a re-tuned diet, my weight decreased 20% and I no longer needed to take the diabetes drug. In my case, it kicked off a vicious cycle where the treatment, in it's own way, was exacerbating the problem.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
