So what’s the alternative? Studies have shown that diet and exercise are not only more than twice as effective as drugs in preventing diabetes, but are also more cost effective
We all have our pet peeves, things that, for want of a better word, annoy the crap out of us. From people who are chronically late to those who eat with their mouths open, I realised the other day that my personal bugbear was people who take medication when they don’t have to. I’m not talking about people who don’t know of an alternative, rather those who know of the alternative and then still take the medication (and complain of the side effects!). Nowhere is truer than of type 2 diabetics taking insulin.
