The word is that drug companies are now seeking to determine whether diabetes drugs can be used to prevent diabetes in those people who are on the cusp of the condition. I am waiting for the Seattle Times or another media outlet to run a story claiming that this effort to treat diabetes before it progresses is disease mongering designed to "get rich" just as it slimed effort to treat "pre-hypertension" as disease mongering a while ago. But of course, rolling out high priced products to treat people who are very sick is gouging those who have no choice. And since the data comes from drug companies or researchers who receive drug company money, the results can't be trusted in any event.
So we should simply ignore the evidence and medicine until truly pure research conducted on people at death's door is generated and results in medicines that are given away for free or at a generic price are made available.
But maybe I am being too idealistic....
