New Hope for Diabetes Victims

My family has a strong history of issues with weight and with adult-onset diabeter (Type 2, type 1 is childhood-onset and is much more dangerous). So I am glad to see the FDA has approved a new medication which can help diabetics with only a once-a-day pill. I am still hoping by the time I am truly at risk to develop symptoms that a cure will exist (maybe cloned pancreases) but for now, this may go a long way toward making diabetes something people can live with.

That being said, improved eating habits, nutrition, and exercise are still vastly preferred as methods to manage diabetes.
