Yes: It is an artificial sweetner that is not broken down to gluose and is not absorbed bt the gastro-intestinal system so it has no caloric value whatsoever.

Question 3

does statin really elevates risk for diabetes? how could one know whether it is safe to take statin if there is no obvious risk factor for diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: Some studies have shown a higher incidence of diabetes in patients on statins, which appears to be dose dependent (higher doses may confer higher risk). This may just be because the people who need higher doses of statins may be more likely to develop diabetes, rather than the medicine causing diabetes. I would take it if recommended by your doc and try to follow a healthy lifestyle!

Byetta safety: Hi

this very effecting diabetes medication is relatively safe to use. 

But, first and foremost is the injection of this medication can lead to pain and infection in the skin if one is not careful and clean when administering it.

Question 8

there is  diabetes support formula called curalin. does it work?  is it safe?

Accepted Answer

: Supplements (like this) are by law not required to prove safety or effectiveness before they are sold. The FDA will look into these if there are side effects or injuries reported after their use, but otherwise the consumer is on their own to decide if there are any benefits with their use. I would certainly never delay or avoid traditional medical care for such products.

Question 9
