The research, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, involved 51 overweight people with pre-diabetes being treated with either Viagra or a matching placebo for three months. Researchers found those who were treated with Viagra were more sensitive to the effects of insulin – increasing their chances of warding off Type 2 diabetes. Dr Brown added: “Because existing drug therapies to prevent Type 2 diabetes can have negative effects on the heart or be of limited use in patients with kidney disease, strategies to prevent diabetes without adversely affecting the risk of kidney and heart disease could have a large impact on public health.
“Further studies will be needed to determine whether long-term treatment with drugs like sildenafil can prevent the onset of diabetes in high-risk patients.”
Commenting on the research London Based Cock Philosopher said
This follows other research that shows that Men taking Viagra are less likely to suffer a heart attack, less likely to suffer dementia and that viagra can help keep your lungs healthy. There is even groundbreaking new research that shows that a combination of viagra and the flu vaccine could prevent the spread of cancer. This beggars the question, “should all men be taking it like smarties”, sorry the M&M’s was sold out..
Ummm would it occur to anybody that the “side effect” of being treated with viagra could mean that you spend a lot of energy fucking which you may not have previously done! This is great exercise and also beats eating shit food…. Let’s see what else viagra cures, diabetes, depression…… what else?
