>Any estimates on how much this will relieve our healthcare system.. aren't diabetes and CVD the biggest burdens?

Long term, I don't think this will necessarily decrease healthcare costs or the burden on the system. Ignoring the cost of the drugs, people not having diabetes means they're going to live longer and develop all the complex conditions that come with getting to be 75+.



sure but heart conditions from obesity and poor diet can start showing up as early as your 40s and ramp up quickly from there
