This would necessitate patients that were willing to try out a few drugs, but I’d sure do it.

Optimize everything you can, I say.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

This sound irresponsible as far as I see it.   I depend on my Doctor to prescribe what I need.   This sounds like more third world retrogression.

I take Metformin and Glimepiride, both not part of the study.

Changed carb intake, focusing on macro utrients for my needs. Started 11/7, down 12 lbs, off 2 orals. Using 1/3 of previous mealtime units and half of previous basal. Docs sure won’t tell you that you need far less carbs per meal/snack than “recommended” by the American Diabetes Assoc.

They need a control group that takes no medication and does one or two 24 hour fasts each week, with no special diet or exercise modifications.

Interesting that they left out Metformin. This sounds like a scam to me. Like “The Pepsi Challenge” but to increase use of expensive drug options, and instead of Coke, they used Mr. Pibb and RC Cola.

I stress diabetics must wear a Libre 2/3, or Dexcom device to constantly monitor their glucose, which helps to pinpoint what your body is doing and when.

The drugs are nice, but it’s important to know which one is going to do the proper thing. And people need to have a bit of tolerance for the side effects, you can’t just feel off for a week and drop the medicine. Diarrhea will go away, other side effects your body may adjust to them with a bit of time.

Actually this is normally done when there is good health care. The physician and patient collaborate on decisions about care.

Just don’t make others pay for it if it is controllable by diet, but not being controlled by diet.
