The blood sugar doesn't matter. We have negative to almost negligible data on all the diabetes meds. Insulin won't save you. Metformin helps a little. The cure for diabetes is simple: exercise, fasting episodes, enough sunlight, enough sleep, a low carbohydrate diet, weight loss. It's so simple, it's almost boring. Manipulating the blood sugar with meds is just messing with a lab value without changing the underlying pathophysiology of the disease and removing the cause(s). But these people wouldn't change anything even if their life depended on it. No wait, drop the subjunctive here. They don't change anything even if their life depends on it. I say it again, and again, and again: First comes the fatty mindset, then the fat (... then fatty diseases, then fatty death.)
