new diabetes meds

september 19 2007

Yesterday I was reading about a new diabetes treatment that can take the place of insulin treatment.
I don't mind shots, but because I have an amino acid metabolism disorder using insulin is out of the question for me.

I forgot the name of the new stuff and searching for it I landed at a site that said there is even another pill on the market: sitagliptine/Januvia.

It enforces the hormones in the metabolic tract and it only works when the glucose levels are too high.
So no fear of hypo's anymore.

I think it's a far better option than the meds I'm taking now.
They make me fat, heighten the level of cholesterol and make me feel crap.

I have to see if the insurance pays for them, if so...I'm going to ask my doc.
It's better to medicate near the cause of the disease than near the symptoms.
