No way messing with insulin production doesn't have long-term delayed consequences.

- shlant 4y agopeople very often forget this. Even if we assume an unsubstantiated risk from the drugs, you absolutely have to factor in the reduced risk from the weight loss. These drugs aren't just providing aesthetic improvement in body composition.
