Another tale from the pit of Diabetesland.

While I was watching the election results last night I saw a public service announcement on MSNBC about two popular injectable “wonder drugs” for type 2 diabetes — Victoza and Byetta — that are now believed to cause pancreatic cancer.

As a modern type 2 diabetic who’s always willing to try the latest and greatest, I used both of these prescription poisons for several months beginning in August 2011 before Dr. M (thank God) switched me to insulin.

And if that’s not enough to send a person screaming into the night, you may recall an earlier Howdygram post about Actos, another diabetes wonder drug that I took for nearly two years. Actos ruined my life with side effects and is now known to trigger bladder cancer. HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP.

I need to watch “Top Chef” and eat dinner now. Thank you for reading this.
