I had noticed. I also saw Amgen has 2 booths but what are they currently selling in the diabetes space? I don't currently know much about Amgen. I don't think anything specific for diabetes, but Repatha is likely the product focus for an event like this. Interesting, I thought Repatha is an LDL cholesterol drug. The funny thing about LDL is when you have high BG the damn glucose sticks to the LDL and thats what clogs up the arteries. A number of studies are showing LDL is not an issue if your BG is normal. I don't know if they are correct but it seems to make sense. Treat the root cause not the symptom but that would kill the statin business. Two booths for this and one is a quad is a lot of space if this is the best they have to bring. |

Based on the recent quarterly conference call, the pediatric trial is scheduled to begin June 15. It wouldn't hurt if they announced the launch of the trial at the ADA Conference as late breaking news. Perhaps it was planned that way.

I think they wait until the last minute and try to get a discount rate on booth space.

You have to love some of these studies. Lets not solve root cause but rather the symptom. Heart Disease is the #1 leading cause of death in the U.S. Cancer is second but if you add Stroke, Alzheimer's and Diabetes the sum total wins by a huge margin. Now what is the #1 cause of heart disease - diabetes,yep. How about Stroke and what about Type III diabetes, Alzheimer's. Lower the BG and the arteries won't harden in most and the glucose won't be sticking to the LDL. Glucose free LDL is not an issue. Instead lets get rid of the LDL. The diabetes will still cause heart disease. |

I have to laugh - they're suggesting a target LDL of 55. Low cholesterol can lead to depression, anxiety, and low vitamin D (with all of those consequences).

No wonder I drink so much wine when I feel anxiety about possible depression. Then when I pass out in the Hawaiian sun ... I get all the vitamin D that I need to feel rejuvenated. |
