A new diabetic drug scare - sulphonylurea increases the risk of heart disease. Well, hello!!! Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and of losing eyesight and amputation and stroke. The bloody disease is far worse than the cure.

Mind you, quite please I am not taking it at the moment I am on Metformin and Vildagliptin, how long before they say that vildagliptin causes problems and withdraw that?

There is a story in the NHS here, and it has links to the daily telegraph and Daily Mirror stories.
