  1. NOT a preventive medicine on FDA Approves New Drug for Type 2 Diabetes · · Score: 1

    oh well.. first of all, this is not a prevent medicine.
    Second, this disease does not necessary come with eating bad food or being a fat person although it is one of the major causes. There are lots of people in the world who started contract with this disease due to generation and other factors. I think it is big hit.
    People with diabetes also suffer from the side effects of the disease over time (heart disease, kidney failure etc...) while being careful about their diet. I think this medicine will help those people by producing natural hormones instead of taking insulin everyday to live.

    Lets appreciate the good contribution of today's science.!!!
    Finally, I dont work for that company or I am not diabetic. This is a pure appreciation to a good science.

    This is the quote from somewhere, I forgot the link though.
    "the first in a new class of oral diabetes medications, called DDP-4 inhibitors (sometimes called gliptins), designed to enhance the body's natural system of lowering blood glucose.They do this by raising the levels of a naturally occurring hormone, called GLP-1, released in the stomach and intestines during eating. This hormone causes the pancreas to produce more insulin while simultaneously discouraging the liver from producing sugar." I believe this medicine will be a big hit in the near future for people taking annoying insulin shots everyday to live.
