Wow. Great testimonials. And what Atticus had to deal with from Metformin- did not know that stuff could be so harsh on the digestive system. With most people it settles within a week to a month. If it doesn't then it is probably not going to and you should get off it. For some reason, I have no idea why, some doctors still prescribe the regular dose metformin and not ER (extended release). The ER version is a lot easier on the system and there is a good discussion on the differences here -> Metformin vs Metformin ER. Oh, and start will a 500mg or 750mg does and increase it after a month or so, don't jump straight to 1000mg. |

Metformin is the antithesis of safe. It induces cell death in the brain. Things like oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, increasing amyloid precursor protein and presenilin that cause aggregation of beta-amyloid. All this stuff is linked to Alzheimer's. You should care. |

Vdex Diabetes added 4 new photos.

We are pleased to announce the opening of our new dedicated facility in Canoga Park where previously we had an office share arrangement. With this new medical facility we will be able to deliver a higher standard of care, and better help patients manage their diabetes.
Our experience to date has shown us the need for a new and better approach. Currently, the management of diabetes is based on outdated protocols, resulting in less-than-ideal outcomes. In addition, doctors' facilities simply are not conducive to an effective patient experience with respect to diabetes. Now, with Vdex, patients will have the most up-to-date treatment protocols together with an office experience built around the idea of producing demonstrably better control of blood sugar.
Through the protocols we've established and implemented with our initial group of patients, we've been able to safely lower HBa1c to levels that were previously unattainable. In some cases, we've seen patients reach HbA1c levels that are physiologically non-diabetic, with no increased risk of hypoglycemia. In fact, we've seen hypoglycemic risk fall at the same time as HbA1c is brought down, something most physicians would say is impossible. We have made extensive use of a new medication, Afrezza, and our conclusion is that we can change the diabetes landscape forever through the use of this medication. We are so confident in this medication, that we believe it really should be the first medication for the treatment of diabetes, assuming the patient meets the necessary criteria.
We invite you to our June 1st grand opening event where we will be giving away a 2 week continuous monitoring trial (normal value, more than$500) to three lucky winners. All you have to do is RSVP using the link below with your Name, Email address and Phone number.

"2 week continuous monitoring trial (normal value, more than $500)"
What does this include? $13k/year is a lot of money.
