Diabetes has a strong genetic component. It is not the preventable disease people seem to think it is.

The article about this new “wonder” drug does not mention that there have already been reports of some possible side effects - serious ones, like heart problems.

I agree with a doctor who said he doesn’t prescribe any drug that hasn’t been on the market at least 10 years.

Don’t know how you define pre-diabetes, but they keep lowering the numbers for what constitutes disease states for blood sugar, hypertension, and weight. As we age, all these things tend to rise. If they keep lowering the numbers, pretty soon we will all be considered to be diabetic, hypertensive, and overweight.

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?
