Reports about new treatments for diabetes keep popping up all the time and most people take this as “good news”. There is always a need for developing new therapies because none of the existing unnatural interventions seem to help the body work naturally to combat this disease. These treatments seem just to “mask” symptoms of diabetes at best.

Drug researchers say that each new treatment for diabetes help in “bringing more options and convenience to diabetes care”. Now take note of the importance of the term “options and convenience“.

There is nothing wrong with new options and convenience, per se, but so little is being done to promote the prevention of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases by lifestyle modification, as compared to what is being done everyday to treat symptoms. Is there any wonder that the industrialized US has the best technology for medical operations - surgeries and other medical procedures, and also the best pharmaceutical operations but not nearly the highest life expectancy? We have done so well at keeping sick people alive, but far less in preventing them from getting sick in the first place.

New treatment for diabetes approved

Note the many times you read that a new treatment for diabetes has been approved by the FDA, only to find a list of side effects that has also been approved for your experience.

I can never fathom how approval can be given to drugs with known side effects and unsatisfactory safety performance and then turn around a make a “re-call” of the substances and label these substances safe.

You may remember the announcement about a popular diabetes drug - a new treatment for diabetes approved in late 2006? The release statement also said, “The most common side effects in clinical studies were upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, and diarrhea.” Now, compare that to the effect of Milagro de la Selva (no contraindications in studies), Diametrix (no side effects from any of the natural ingredients), and these natural products have been used for hundreds of years.

Note that by “treatment for diabetes” or treatment for any illness we have to mean pharmaceutically derived chemicals or combinations of chemicals. The FDA mandates treatments to be chemical concoctions from laboratories.

My personal take on these new treatments for diabetes

There is an effort now to combine several medications in order to maximize “effectiveness”. I believe these drugs should only be used short term. Does anyone believe that a 40-year old type 2 diabetic who is otherwise physically able should give up his/her life for a life on a combination of drugs? Some of these chemicals may be determined 4 years down the road to be deleterious - and the drug companies will say, “sorry”.

I fear these announcements about any new treatment for diabetes, I really do. With every new “treatment” comes the reality of additional “new” sanctioned injuries. To borrow a proverb, I should have to “cut off my nose to fix my face.” Whenever a new diabetic is given medication, he or she should be mandated to exercise therapy. Insurance should be able to pay for group sessions. In addition, patients should be told the truth about their diets - a plant-based diet is best for us. This is what I believe because it has worked for me.
