Nothing says buy our product, better than a bunch of fat women dancing.
No one wants to watch that, but they push it on us anyway.
I’m talking about population wide, you seem to be wanting to respond to someone claiming that no men are susceptible to these advertising battles for gullible people, instead, read my posts.
That sounds very strange for type 2 diabetes-to have spikes like that, especially if she is eating right, not overweight, etc. I hope she stays in control and does not have any side effects-I know you are being supportive and will help in any way you can...
It is entirely inexplicable. She has a CGM monitor and eats zero carbs for breakfast. 2 eggs over easy, two pieces of chicken bacon and a half avocado. That is zero carbs. Without Jardiance her glucose will jump 100 points. It defies explanation. If we were rich we’d go to the mayo Clinic but we do what we have to do. Medicine is to treat 90% of the people 90% of the time. If you fall out of that graph, shame on you.
I responded politely based on my experience to your statement/question-I don’t survey people of either sex for their response or susceptibility to advertising. And I read your query literally, not referring to your posts or anyone else’s. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sir...
No you didn’t, my comments were about the male and female, and advertising and weakness in mass persuasion for mass adoption of the new thing, the same sort of thing we see in political persuasion.
And I said that in my experience the under 40-45 men are the ones who want new drugs vs pt, diet etc. That is based on mostly my comp clients, but I have no idea whether it is because they were persuaded by friends, by a TV commercial, a doc-or the good fairy. I just know what I see and what goes into my report to the insurance carrier. Of course male or female, they are steered to PT and diet for weight loss and rehab first, always.
Do I think that pharma uses advertising for mass persuasion for adoption of a new drug just as politicians do for a new thing? Oh, hell yes, and it is just as underhanded and calculated-I don’t think they really aim at the sex of the person-they just both use the magic spell/potion approach they know wins the most gullible people. Excuse the sentiments, but deceptive advertising means you have a lousy product/idea to sell...
You never figured out what I was posting about.
I read "Jardience" as "Larddance" at first.
Not inappropriate, actually.
LMAO! Totally appropriate-and now I will be thinking “larddance” every time I see that commercial...
