This Diabetes Drug Proven Useless (but still causes side effects)

According to The American Diabetes Association, diabetes treatment in the US is costing over $245 billion per year and is estimated to top $350 billion in 2018.

More seriously, type 2 diabetes drugs come with serious side effects.

So, it’s concerning when one of the major type 2 diabetes drugs has been proven completely useless in treating one of the major issues of the disease.

Heart failure is common in people with type 2 diabetes. According to the American National Institute of Health, heart failure is a condition in which your heart cannot pump sufficient amounts of blood to the rest of your body.

Diabetes leads to heart failure because it damages your blood vessels and it compromises your heart’s ability to generate energy from fat and glucose. As with other body tissue, the heart also becomes resistant to insulin.

As a result, scientists wondered whether diabetes drugs could boost the heart’s ability to generate energy from glucose and counter its insulin resistance. After all, if they can do it for the rest of the body, why not for the heart too?

In a study for the U.S. National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s Heart Failure Clinical Research Network, a large group of American scientists collected information on 300 patients hospitalized with heart failure at 24 American hospitals.

Their ages ranged from 52 to 68, 79% of them were male, and 21% were female. Approximately 59% of them had type 2 diabetes.

The patients were divided into groups that received either a daily injection of the diabetes drug liraglutide (sold under the brand names Victoza and Saxenda in various countries), or a placebo injection that contained no real medication.

Researchers found that the medication was no more effective than the placebo at preventing death from, or re-hospitalization for, heart failure.

Once again, this study proves that the only way to avoid the devastating effects of type 2 diabetes is through proven natural diet and lifestyle changes.
