Avandia preventing diabetes?

Medpundit says not so fast:

Those improvements sound impressive, but they are the same improvements and the same rate of improvement that can be had by diet and lifestyle changes, a fact the authors freely admit in their conclusion. Watching the diet and walking a half hour every day is certainly less expensive than the $175 a month it costs to take Avandia at the 8mg dose in the study. Not to mention, it’s healthier, what with the congestive heart failure and all.
