Has Anyone Seen The Headline "Ozempic Linked With A Blinding Eye Condition"??
If anyone is taking a GLP-1 class drug which includes Ozempic, Rybelsus, Mounjaro or some of the older ones like Victoza this headline may sound a little scary
It is based on a study done at Harvard Med and just published in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA) so that means to start, this is not just a headline from someone sitting in a basement wearing a tinfoil hat - it's a "reliable source"
But what the headlines are not going to say is how they came about that statement
Here's what… read more

Does Diabetes Always Progress To A Debilitating Degree Causing Death In The End?
One of our members, Jim, asked yesterday essentially "what can we expect" as the disease progresses, when will it happen etc

Likelihood And Timing Of A1C Increases And Diabetic Complications Despite A Patient's Best Efforts
Jim Lohr, Ames, Iowa, Type 2, diagnosed September, 2023.I am not on medication. I buy and use the Abbott Libre 3 and have been able to keep their "A1C" below 6.5.
