[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4096165, member: 60252"] I've been on the same low dose of metformin for about 15 years BECAUSE it was caught early. I was on a lofat diet, and less meat was considered healthy. White rice, used to be considered healthy, but for some people is a big no-no. Diabetes susceptibility is largely genetic, and even people who eat healthy, like me, can develop it. I've known skinny people with type 2 diabetes who have had amputations. Plus, studies have proven that people who use metformin, even without diabetes live longer. Better to catch it early with simple, cheap tests, than to wait until someone ends up in the ER. The ACA allowed poor people to get those tests annually that they otherwise couldn't get if choosing between paying their bills or getting an annual checkup. People working minimum wage, or even higher if they have a family, need to make choices, and will put their kids before their own health. But you're too worried about the extra $1 in taxes out of your pocket to care about others, because you are 'independent' But you are ignoring the point, or maybe just want to deflect. If it is caught early, the outcome is better. You seem to think that because some people will die anyway, we don't need to try to help others. Typical Trumpian who apparently doesn't think a healthier population benefits everyone. Penny wise, pound foolish. [/QUOTE]
