Argh!

Tell that to my mother — with her reoccuring infections, feeling bad, etc.

Heck tell it to the people around me.  Though I will buy that oral medications really don’t work that well, and I do much better on insulin and even better on the pump.

By the way, I remember Bextra, and I liked it. 

However, no one feels better for a lower blood sugar. Some feel worse or get fatter depending on the drug. And no one feels worse for a high blood sugar, except for the rare patient with adult onset type 2 diabetes who can mobilize an extremely high blood sugar.

    OMG!! What a crazy thing to say!
    I can’t believe a DOCTOR would write that. Some of what he’s said is good – I do believe that we should avoid medications where possible. He’s right about the fads, too. But to say that lower blood sugars aren’t important… EEEEK! How many of his patients have died long slow horrible deaths from his negligence?
    OUCH!
