Multiple classes of diabetes meds come with bone fracture risk

[Urgent warning] Diabetes meds could SHATTER your bones

Your doc WON’T get off your back…

Not until you get that Hba1c down. 

If you’re STRUGGLING to control your blood sugar… and you’re staring down the barrel of a type 2 diagnosis…

You might do WHATEVER it takes you get your doc off your case

Even if that means filling an Rx for one of those blockbuster diabetes meds. 

But there’s an URGENT warning you need to hear about Big Pharma’s blood sugar-lowering drugs…

And how they might lead to a DEVASTATING disability… and even a loss of independence. 

Here’s the BREAKING news you need to know about… and how to CONQUER blood sugar woes while maintaining your strength. 

I’m talking about bone breaks – specifically linked to DPP-4 inhibitors (a.k.a. gliptins), SGLT2 inhibitors (like canagliflozin and empagliflozin), and GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide).

Back in 2015, the FDA warned patients about fracture risks associated with the diabetes drug sold under the brand name Invokana. 

That drug, an SGLT2 inhibitor, was associated with a 26% higher risk of bone breaks compared to placebo.

And now, a 2023 study out of Korea reaffirms that this drug class is JUST AS RISKY as GLP-1 receptor agonists…

ESPECIALLY in post-menopausal women.

There’s ANOTHER type of diabetes med that’s even RISKIER: DPP-4 inhibitors. But it’s the GLP-1 receptor agonists that have been getting all the attention lately… especially in the gossip columns for how those “designer drugs” help Hollywood’s most beautiful celebrities stay slim for the red carpet.

Want a svelte figure like your favorite young starlet? It’s CRUCIAL you know what you could be signing up for. 

Now, it’s not just what the drugs do… although that’s pretty bad on its own. 

This latest study’s authors suggest that they INTERFERE with your body’s ability to use calcium and phosphorus to keep your bones strong. 

It could LITERALLY make your skeleton FRAGILE!

But there’s something else going on, too.

After “the change,” PLUMMETING levels of estrogen could put older gals in the crosshairs for thinning bones. 

And, unfortunately, fracture risk comes with the territory when you’ve got diabetes. 

Fortunately, there’s one “wonder nutrient” that checks off ALL the boxes here, as it…

  • BUILDS bone
  • BALANCES insulin and blood glucose, and
  • SUPPORTS hormonal balance and other menopausal changes. 

It’s vitamin D. 

You may already have heard about how it helps our bodies absorb calcium… PROMOTES the growth of our “bone-building” cells (a.k.a. osteoblasts)…

And even STAVES OFF osteoporosis.

What you may not be aware of is how the “sunshine vitamin” is a key player in BEATING BACK… and even IMPROVING insulin resistance… 

Which is a HUGE factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. 

It also acts like a hormone in your body… not only helping with estrogen production… 

But also BOOSTING your mood… thanks to its impact on brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters, including the “happy hormone” serotonin. 

I recommend taking 10,000 IU daily of vitamin D3…

But don’t stop there. 

Add in another nutrient that helps support bone-building and the lowering of blood sugar: astaxanthin. 

You can take them separately… or find them together in a single formula.

In pursuit of the truth,
