Just a silly question, I know. But haven’t the costs of medications and equipment that diabetics need gone way up recently? Is it possible that patients not being able to afford current treatment might, just might, be a big part of these fatalities?
There’s a new class of meds that works quite well (SGLT2 inhibitors) but is quite expensive.
I take Jardiance and it works great with minimal side effects.
You can accomplish a lot of the same results with the old standard of metformin but you need to REALLY do a serious carb reduction in your diet.
