Diabetes Drugs Causing DEADLY Infections (Shocking!)

If you have diabetes, chances are your mainstream doc has put you on a blood sugar drug or two.
And these drugs probably make you feel terrible.
That’s because they can drain your energy… and set you up for painful side effects like nerve damage… and even amputation.
Now it looks like they are behind another serious complication.
You see, new research shows that popular diabetes drugs can cause deadly flesh-eating genital infections.
And you might be taking one of them right now!
Fournier gangrene is a disease that is as strange as it is deadly.
This flesh-eating infection attacks your genitals… and can set you up for life-changing surgeries… or even death.
For years, this disease was considered extremely rare.
But a recent report by the FDA shows that taking certain (FDA approved) diabetes drugs can send your risk of developing this nasty infection through the roof.
SGLT2 inhibitors – like canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin – work by pushing sugar out of your blood and dumping it in your kidneys (where it should not be).
This puts more sugar in your urine, which feeds bacteria, and leads to serious infections in your kidneys, bladder and genitals.
According to the FDA alert, one person has already lost their life to this deadly disease… and thousands more could be at risk.
If you’re taking any of these drugs, talk to your doc about getting off of them.
Especially since diabetes is completely fixable through diet, lifestyle, and supplementation.
Let me show you.
Dr. Scott’s Blood Sugar Fix:
- Avoid sugar. Blood sugar is made worse by alcohol, high-carbohydrate foods, soda, sugary drinks, and processed foods.
- Maintain a healthy weight. This is easy to say, and harder to do. There is much you can do to help maintain a good weight including boosting your metabolism and increasing your muscle mass.
- Support your liver with healthy herbs. I like milk thistle, dandelion, and turmeric for liver support.
- Control your blood sugar naturally. Try berberine, curcumin, and chromium to help keep your blood sugar balanced
