Cost of Diabetes Care Has Doubled
Date:10/27/2008

metformin fail over time, he said. "The cheap drugs are not so good," he said.

"The newer drugs have a very nice effect on the progression of disease in diabetes, and they don't lose efficacy after a few years," Weiss added. "I don't know whether they are going to fail over time. There is no medication that can't be overwhelmed by a bad diet."

Saving money by not using the newer drugs is not the answer to the growing diabetes epidemic. Even the most expensive drugs are cheaper than untreated diabetes, Weiss said. "If people think that giving cheap drugs will be the solution to the growing problem -- I think they are making a huge mistake."

Representatives of the drug industry were unavailable for comment on Monday.
