I am a Type II and Actos is more dangerous than Metformin or Glyburide. Although I just started Byetta and hope to reduce or eliminate some of the others.

There are very few drugs that interact with the cell nucleus and actually rewrite code such that the right enzymes and proteins are produced to alleviate a symptom.

At this stage in their development these drugs may be a bit clunky and could precipitate MIs.

Think of what this means a few decades down the line when metaformin-like drugs can be fine-tuned to be administered daily to ward of a wide variety of cancers.
