Jenny Ruhl has a valuable post on the newest drug for type 2 diabetes: canagliflozin. A snippet:

If your doctor tries to put you on this drug, say no. Wait ten years, and search the literature then to see what scientists have found out about its real effects on patients before you try it.

Jenny says the pill will cost $8.77 (USD) per pill. Well worth a read.
