Early Intervention with Insulin Does Not Slow Type 1--Relevant to LADA?
Page changed: LADA
Added citation to Medpage today discussion of new Type 1 studies that found that intervening early with insulin did not prevent the development of Type 1 diabetes in children with serious genetic risk factors. This raises the question of whether early intervention with insulin in LADA can slow the progress of this form of adult onset autoimmune diabetes, though it does not provide any reason NOT to start insulin early.

Report of Severe Joint Pain and Damage Associated with Januvia
Page changed: Januvia
Added report of severe joint pain and damage subsequent to starting Januvia. As DPP-4 is known to be low in people with rheumatoid arthritis there is reason to believe that lowering DPP-4 might indeed cause this life-altering side effect.

Page Changed: The Truth About Oral Diabetic Drugs.
Added data from the 20-year follow up to the UKPDS showing that in a group of patients who at one time had attempted to achieve a 7% A1c (eating a very high carb diet) but over time failed to maintain even that low a blood sugar, those using Metformin had less complications and one third less heart attacks.
