New Diabetic medications are coming! During the last few years new classes of diabetic medications have been developed, which lower blood sugars by allowing the kidneys to spill excess sugar in the urine when glucose levels exceed normal range. These medications allow sugar levels to remain normal in the bloodstream. This class of drugs has shown that it can cause people to lose weight and in addition, lower blood pressure, slightly reducing the risk of heart attacks. An eve...n newer class of these drugs not only cause the kidney to spill sugar, but also prevents the absorption of sugar from the intestines, which further improves high blood sugar. We are currently engaged in a clinical utilizing this new medication. For information about this study, especially if your diabetes is not well controlled, please call MEC&R at 415-461-1585, and ask for Carol or Natalie

I love my country but, The one thing we have backwards is our healthcare. As you can see I just spent $807.96 on the one thing that keeps me alive, insulin. ...These 3 vials last me 30 days. So in February I’ll have to go back and get another round of insulin.... at the same price. I’ll have to keep doing so until I reach my max out of pocket which is $7,000. Keep in mind I DO have health insurance, blue cross and blue shield. Pretty big name. Healthcare for all you say, it will be great and affordable you say. I literally work a second job to just stay alive!! People that are unemployed and have no health insurance pay much less than I do. We have been using insulin sense the early 20’s. There’s now over a 500% markup in price. It’s insulin, we’re not injecting tiger blood ok. This is bullshit and need to change. #LiquidGold See more
