I have been reading about the new medications
for type 2 diabetes. Do you recommend them.
First, new is not always better. The
pharmaceutical industry and the doctors are in the field of medicine to make
money. So just because you get a newer drug does not mean it is more effective.
In fact, we are now learning that many doctors work with pharmaceutical
companies and never highlight the negative data. Therefore, if you are a
diabetic, my best advice is to watch your diet, keep your weight down, do not
smoke and exercise.
As far as medications are concerned, metformin is still the
best. it is cheaper, effective and helps you lose weight. The drug has been
around for 70 years and stood the test of time.
