    I think those new drugs look really game-changing. I know they aren’t affordable yet, but soon the insurers will realize they are cheaper than the downstream costs of diabetes.

    I was reading in the NYT yesterday that they were making people change behavior not just on hunger, but on the “food noise” that a lot of people have. So this will change the situation in a household and might have additional social consequences for people’s consumption.
