My concern with all these "wonder drugs" what are the side effects.In my earlier life I too was very overweight and lost it all by dieting, after that i took to the gym and exercised a lot, so I was able to stay thin while not dieting much. Its just in the last 18 months i've gone heavy again, i've not dieted much, nor exercised. So to go back to all the effort of counting calories, checking portion sizes and avoiding sugary foods was going to be a lot of effort. So i thought why not give these jabs a try. To say i've been surprised is an understatement, its just no effort at all. Given how big the population has become in general I can see these drugs becoming as common as paracetamol. The drug was developed originally to treat diabetes, and I can imagine type 2 will start to become a thing of the past, maybe in a few generations anyhow.
My first wife was training as a nurse SRN in those days and she brought a book home which her mum read and then decided what ailments she had
I tend to to look up the "contraindications" list re a drug and it gives a more realistic detail then what is written on the packet!
