His diabetes medication list includes Glucophage (metformin), Jardiance (empagliflozin), Bydureon (once weekly exenatide), Novolog (insulin aspart) and Lantus (insulin glargine).
Gallant also has the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, as well as the commonly associated cardiovascular issues of abnormal cholesterol and high blood pressure. He never misses his Viagra! He constantly brags to his friends and family that he does not take any prescription medications at all for his diabetes!
He does, however, take tons of over-the-counter supplements from the vitamin store to treat anything from diabetes, memory loss, and male pattern baldness to daytime tiredness and reduced energy. He has type 2 with poorly controlled glucose values (A1c above 9%), elevated cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure. As a result, he stopped his medications or takes them very sporadically before his doctor visits…if he shows up at all. Goofus has type 2 diabetes and hates to take prescription medications, adamantly refuses insulin, and his goal in life is to “get off my medications”. Look at some of these scenarios below and see if you relate to Goofus or Gallant. They were two guys, one of whom was kind of dorky and goofy and always did everything wrong, and the other was polite, proper and did everything right. (Quite different than building a a transformer, Optimus Prime!) When I was younger, one of the regular sections I liked was called Goofus and Gallant. Remember Highlights? For over 60 years it has been a very popular magazine for kids with lots of stories and games that make you think.
