Source: United Press International

The study found that folks with diabetes who were using the drugs lowered their odds for a form of clot called venous thromboembolism (VTE) by 20%, compared to people taking another type of diabetes drug.” [editor’s note: Nice … now if my “insurer” would quit stalling on authorizing my prescription … – TLK] (12/10/24)
