By the way, did you ever comment on the RECORD report itself?

From what I can tell (I don’t subscribe to the Lancet, so everything I see on the subject is third-hand), the full report did not show increased cardiovascular risk. As a pre-diabetic who will probably end up on either metformin or Avandia sometime soon, my interest isn’t entirely theoretical.
