LOL! No truer words were ever spoken.

I'm reminded of the half cocked "cox2" disaster than blocked cox2 leaving a reservoir of arachidonic acid with only the "5-lox" path for disposition. It did massive arterial damage. Half baked solutions are dangerous.

The mechanism described is going to divert glucose into the urine. That is going to make a fine substrate for urinary tract infections. How long can this medication be taken before it permanently shuts down the enzyme designed to conserve blood glucose? Does that set you up for an uncontrolled drain of blood glucose into the bladder whether that is a desirable activity or not?

Metaformin cures in three ways ~ makes insulin metabolism easier, flushes starch down the old chute into the main sewer lines, and BECAUSE IT REWIRES DNA IN YOUR CELL NUCLEUS (on a temporary basis of course) stimulates the growth of new nerve tissue!

Actually, that's all pretty recent stuff ~ they've been using this drug for several decades and only recently noticed the nerve tissue trick.

Another drug with a similar effect is called glipizide ~ however it stimulates your remaining beta cells to produce more insulin.

These turn out to be extraordinarily powerful drugs ~ now something that blocks enzymes rather than just rewiring your DNA? Sure ~ gonna' jump on that in a sec ~oh, yes!!!!

Departing from sarcasm just a moment many people ~ about 20% ~ have an enzyme production problem. There are these other folks who have a Grape-Fruit problem on top of that.

Folks with exceedingly low cholesterol, or intramuscular pain in their arms and legs, can tell you all about that one. So, here's a drug that is going to interfere with at least one major enzyme ~ which presumes you have that enzyme anyway. Does that mean we can all start eating our grapefruit again? And, BTW, what other enzymes are going to be jerked around ~ think I'd like to know that first.

It’s my understanding that there are at least 20 types of diabetes. I’d get further and more specific testing of your true type.

Your doctor must ask you about this now by law, via DemocratCare. It’s invasive and it’s all held by a central government authority. What could go wrong?

[1010RD]

There is a cure. It hurts a lot, but there is a cure.

I teach 7th graders. Last year my stress level was through the roof. It was probably one of the worse classes in my 30 years of teaching.

This years class is one of my motivated and best behaved classes I taught.

When I went in for my 6 month check up the doctor looked at my test numbers and was amazed at the changes.

My BP numbers were down 20 points, my sugar numbers were close to normal, my bad cholesterol was down, and my good cholesterol was up.

Yup stress can wreak havoc on the body.

Unfortunately my last class of students, coming up next year are almost as bad as last years group.

We now belong to the state. Scary times.

The two things that made a difference when I was stressed were making sure I took vitamin C (1000mg a day or more) and getting enough sleep. If I got less than 7.5hrs sleep a night my sugars told me about it. Especially if it was more than 2 nights in a row.

YMMV.
