This is why you shouldn't touch any new drugs and any produce from America. Ever since Trump it's actually scary to use now unregulated American products.

yeah that makes sense put your life in your own hands and die trying versus using proven medicine

Holy fuck, these people are so stupid.
Conservatives hate you and they want you dead. It's not incompetence, It's pure malice.

No! Stop acting like they're all stupid, that's what they want you to think.
He was a pancreatic surgeon at Johns Hopkins. It's literally impossible for him to not be familiar with diabetes unless he has experienced serve memory loss recently.
He's pushing eugenics and wanting to kill off people with chronic illnesses
This. It's literally just suggesting "well how about we just let them die", AKA murder. The HHS especially is now just being filled with eugenicists who are, in general, too chickenshit to just come out and say "well we should kill all of them".

Hum... but your quote indeed uses "treat", I am no expert, but I feel it might be the verb form of "treatment"...
Great. Everybody has right for feelings.
Its almost like language is funny thing that can be ambiguous and interpreted in many ways. Often the way it suits the person reading it the best.
Im not expert but one might think that in this particular contects he might be using word treat as in the saying "prevention is the best medicine." And some asshole could comment "I am no expert, but I feel prevention might not be medicine at all"
I dont like the dude and in all truth i could not care less about americans assbackwards medical care system, but i just hate when people take things out of context and try to spin it the way it is best for their own agenta moving the conversation towards hating person/country/religion/political group/ what ever they want instead of thinking that the person might have some idea.
Like in this case we could be writing how we could effect how to get people eat healthier instead of being smartasses.

As much i love a good trashing of politican the real quote was "Maybe we need to treat more diabetes with cooking classes, not just throwing insulin at people,"
Better diet really could help prevent type 2 diebetes and personally i think prevention is always better solution than treatment.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The thing is, they act like this isn't happening already. My doctor frequently checks and monitors my blood sugar and has scheduled conversations with nutritionists to help me adjust my lifestyle and diet.
This is the fucking standard of care.
These quacks are just perpetuating the myth that doctors "just push meds" and are controlled by "big pharma". It's how conspiracy theories work. You take a small kernel of truth (we treat some diabetes with insulin) and then just make up sinister stories around it.
Edit: what they actually want is to ne able to blame people who have diabetes for having diabetes. That way they are justified in denying them life-saving medication.

Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days.
He's not wrong, he's just right for the wrong reasons.
90% of diabetics in the US are type 2. 90%.Our food culture is way out of whack, and we need to fix it.
Obviously diabetics still need medical care. But revamping the way we view food will allow many Americans to keep the amount of feet they were born with.

Is he suggesting that the US is going to fund free cooking classes that are low in fat and sugar? Because that's a great idea.
And they should also provide free insulin.
Maybe we can compromise and say that you have to attend 4 hours of free cooking classes every month to receive your free insulin for the month?

People are too tired and overworked to cook. Poor people are far more likely to spend too much time commuting to work too.
And their suggestion only addresses one type of diabetes. There’s a whole other type of diabetes.
I think its implicit that he's only talking about type 2 diabetes, which is the vast majority of the cases in the US
-
A good rule of thumb whenever I hear anything about what this administration does in regards to health I try to look at it through the lens of eugenics. They want to get rid of the people they consider "weak" and think that using money to help those that need it to be a waste of money. People with autism, weak immune systems, chronic illnesses, poor people, drug addicts, and pretty much anyone else they consider undesirable and less than human. Also, they consider our tax money as their personal bank account as if the country was a company and our taxes are their profits. Pretty fucked up, but it makes more sense than trying to rationalize clearly irrational behavior.

Its actually kinda interesting how long they have been taking the "poor and disabled will just kill themselves off" approach. In 2012 Romney was also campaigning on repealing Medicaid and Medicare.
He literally said "people don't die from a lack of insurance" happy to ignore any chronic diseases and blame the individual.He even had proposed less funding for ambulances and more for services to collect bodies cause he even expected more people to die. We are still there with this party but even more racist and victim blaming while being more aggressive in who the other is while demanding more children to keep capitalism going up... Bunch of the worst people who just want whatever they want and never reality.

Is a total ban on diabetes medicine on the way? This is an effort to kill anyone who isn't young and fit.

I hate to be one to agree, but if he's referring to type 2 diabetes, then it's actually a valid point.
Type 2 is not only preventable but reversable (either completely or enough to massively reduce insulin dependency).
This has been known for a while. Even major diabetes organizations and medical universities say it.
The problem is, good luck convincing someone to switch their diet. And if they wanted to, they may not even be able to afford it.
If it were easy, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity related illnesses would be rare.

They get away with this shit because a lot of us don't actually engage them back in places that matter. Sure we all talk here but it's not like we're very visible. Right now, and for the next year, this comment will be shared on all other social media with a gaggle of agreement. But we will forget this by tomorrow. So they can saw say whatever they want really

Sounds like socialism to me.
I like it!!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah, I’d say yes. It's a primer and warning shot. They’ll roll it out in phases.
It gets a reaction out of us. And not always a logical one. A lot of people’s gut instinct is just to deny whatever “they” say. That does two things:
First, it gets their base thinking and talking about how many T2 diabetics are supposedly just consequences of lifestyle.
Second, it pushes the left into reflexively denying that even though it’s partly true. So now, when any real conversation comes up, there’s already a schism. And they can use that to sneak more garbage through, stuff that benefits them and their friends.
Can we head them off at the pass?
No. Never.

Weird. The only thing I can think is that we should string these motherfuckers up asap.

Yes and no for US. We have folks lining up for ice cream at Walmart and jabbing insulin with it. Diabetes is a diet disease (T2). My A1C was north of 15 when diagnosed. I did go the diet route and managed it before 5.7 for 4 years and now finally it's creeping up to 5.9. It's a chronic disease and will get worse with time.
Other issue I find is it is expensive to eat healthy in US. So either we need to provide cheaper healthier option or we need to provide insulin. We cannot take them both away.
