Owash:
At the time we went to insulin because the pills I took for the diabets aggravated my kidney problems, but today the cardiologist talked to me about new new medications that would have appeared.

Know something about that '

THANKS AND SALU2,

I imagine that your cardiologist would talk about the incretins.

The incredin effect.It was discovered that when we eat orally, more insulin occurs than if glucose injected us through a vein.
But in patients with diabetestipo2 that increase in insulin was much smaller than in healthy people.
That is because the digestive system has "alerts" to insulin producers who shoot when food comes.In the case of type 2, that "alert" is very low and less insulin occurs than is needed.
