That’s one of the factors that worries me the most, with the explosion in people with diabetes we’ve been seeing, that’s a big factor in the number of people who will either die or have to be treated.

I was wondering that a bit ago - is it the ‘condition’, or is it the drugs being taken to ‘mitigate’ the condition?

I can’t say I’m surprised to find this out.
