Diabetes Drugs CAUSING Deadly Infections!

For years, the mainstream has been telling us that diabetes drugs are safe.
But we know that’s nothing but a bunch of bull.
Many of these drugs have been linked to amputations and serious kidney problems.
Now, according to some brand new research, a certain class of these popular drugs is causing DEADLY infections in seniors, too.
Here’s what you need to know.
In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a class of medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.
And the health of diabetics has been on the line ever since.
You see, these drugs work by pushing sugar out of your blood and dumping it in your kidneys… where it doesn’t belong.
This process adds sugar to your urine – which makes bacteria grow quicker and stronger – and causes DEADLY infections in your kidneys, bladder, and genitals.
In fact, patients who take these medications are at risk of the infection known as Fournier’s gangrene that affects the tissue under the skin that surrounds your genital area.
If you think that’s bad…
The treatment options for this type of infection can change your life (and your sex life) forever… or KILL you.
SGLT2 inhibitors include:
- Canagliflozin
- Dapagliflozin
- Empagliflozin
- Empagliflozin/linagliptin
- Empagliflozin/metformin
- Dapagliflozin/metformin
If you’re taking one of these drugs, it’s time to talk to yourdoc about getting off them.
If you’re not on diabetesmedication and are worried about your blood sugar try cinnamon.
When taken as a super-concentrated supplement, cinnamon becomes a powerful weapon against high blood sugar.
Plus, it’s easy to find in supplement form… and it’s dirt cheap. I like this one.
