Diabetes is never cured, only delayed. Been diabetic for over 25 years now.....I know. Drugs to rev up my pancreas eventually “burned it out” as my doctor put it. But they are mega-profitable for big pharma, so they keep coming.
It was a happy day in my life when my doctor put me on insulin, letting me stop taking those drugs. Especially metformin, which always left me feeling like I’d ingested an industrial floor cleaner.
It’s all pieces of the puzzle. With each step that can be taken, diabetes becomes potentially more curable, or delayable to your point.
That’s why I said that along with dietary changes. You can’t fix this with drugs alone, but the drugs might provide a boost that, along with the requisite dietary and life style changes, you may be able to reverse course.
For a very long time Type II was all a matter of insulin resistance at the cellular level. Metformin et al was supposed to mitigate that so a working pancreas could supply the needed insulin to the cells. All of a sudden and without explanation, apology or excuse it became a problem of not enough insulin being produced because the pancreas just gave up trying to get insulin into the cells. Why this change? Well, Ozempic et al stimulate that rusty old pancreas. Problem solved. A new problem with a solution in search of an answer?
