But it's all a scam. The human body doesn't need seven prescription drugs to be healthy. Prescription drugs actually do far more harm than good, killing over 100,000 Americans each year and injuring another 2.2 million. Worse yet, they do nothing to reverse the underlying cause of disease. I've seen people with diabetes drink soft drinks by the case while popping blood sugar control drugs!
Wouldn't it make more sense if our doctors educated people about fundamental nutrition and helped them get off the foods that cause diabetes? Type II Diabetes is caused by various metabolic disruptors and high-glycemic foods such as white flour, soft drinks, high fructose corn syrup and refined white sugar. It is further amplified by a lack of exercise. It can be completely reversed in the vast majority of cases by making changes in diet and physical exercise. It's not rocket science, and patients really don't need diabetes drugs. You won't hear that from the pharmaceutical companies, of course, since they don't make any money when diabetic patients get well and take control over their own health.

In one study, published in Diabetes Care, researchers surveyed
patients and found that 11 percent reported having had to cut back on
diabetes drugs for financial reasons.
Diabetes patients may be under great pressure to skip doses because
they typically take medication for other problems that accompany it,
like high blood pressure.
In one study, half the patients said they took at least seven
prescription drugs, and almost a third reported out-of-pocket costs of
$100 or more a month.
The researchers urged doctors to be more aggressive about making sure
patients were following their prescription regimens.
One study also found that people on the Veterans Affairs drug plan
were least likely to report scaling back on their medicines.
