isn't it meant to be a permanent treatment?
no one says insulin is inefficient because diabetics die if they stop taking it.
Ibuprofen also doesn't work, because my pain comes back after a while.
Exactly. And these drugs were originally diabetes medications. And they don’t cure diabetes.
the only reason they were diabetes meds was because obesity and high carb intake is the cause of most type 2 diabetes.
All these drugs do is trick the brain into thinking you just over ate.
Not directly.
But borderline people who lose a lot of weight can sometimes get into the range of non-insulin-dependent life.
that's type 2 and early stages.
i hope that my example made it clear I didn't mean those cases.
Ozempic doesn't do much for type 1. It was never approved for type 1.
I'm this particular comment thread, were talking insulin not Ozempic
sorry but some people do say it's inefficient and unfair. insulin is not free (not in all countries at least) and it's extra effort and task management which is forced on people, some of them just because they were born with diabetes and never had a choice.
it's like a tax for being born a certain way.
insulin is practically free to make, is about a couple $ per month without subsidies.
If you pay more than that it is a literal scam and people belong in jail.
No drug is inexpensive to make at GMP level.
