Spending on Anti Diabetes Drugs Out of Control. Dr Richard Hagmeyer

Spending on Anti-Diabetes Drugs is Out of Control

Anti-diabetes drug spending grew by $1.9 billion in 2010, making them the fourth top therapeutic class in the United States, according to IMS Health. In all, the IMS Institute report “The Use of Medicines in the United States: Review of 2010” noted that 165 million prescriptions for anti-diabetic drugs were filled in 2010, a nearly 4 percent increase over 2009.

The CDC also reported that over 84 percent of adults with diabetes took diabetes medication in 2008 — but with all of these diabetes drugs, are Americans getting healthier as the conventional medical establishment would have you believe?

Not exactly.

People with diabetes have double the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke compared to those without. Diabetics also have a 25 percent greater risk of dying from cancer along with an increased risk of dying from infections, lung disease, kidney disease, falls and suicide.

Further, diabetes lowers life expectancy at every age, by an average of 8.5 years at age 50, 5 years at age 60 and one year at age 90.

As long as you have diabetes, these risks remain strong, and diabetes medications will not “cure” you of the disease.

However, as even the mainstream media and many experts, including Dr Richard Hagmeyer., are now reporting, you can reverse diabetes … and, often, you can do it without drugs.
