Fat lazy people by the numbers.
Tracy Frey underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2015 to help control her weight. She lost 110 pounds, but still weighs about 370.
. . . . .
The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed patients dropping an average of 35 to 52 pounds over 72 weeks, depending on their dosage.

Roughly a quarter of adults in the Valley live with diabetes, compared with 12.6 percent of Texans and 13 percent of Americans. (Between 90 and 95 percent of those with diabetes in the U.S. have type 2.)
. . . . .
At the same time, about half of adults in the Valley’s Cameron, Hidalgo, and Starr counties are obese, compared with roughly 36 percent of Texans and 42 percent of Americans.
. . . . .
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is 60 percent greater among Hispanic adults than among non-Hispanic white adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
. . . . .
Yet researchers can’t say why the condition is more common among those who are Hispanic or, for that matter, among Indigenous Americans (96 percent greater prevalence of diabetes, compared with the non-Hispanic white population), Black Americans (64 percent greater), and Asian Americans (28 percent greater)
. . . . .
Mounjaro’s retail price is $974.33 for a four-week prescription, compared with roughly $20 per month for metformin, among the most common generic drugs for type 2 diabetes.
. . . . .
Meanwhile, her 55-year-old husband, Ambrosio Maldanado, who also has type 2 diabetes and weighs almost four hundred pounds, hopes his doctor will soon prescribe Mounjaro for him too.
. . . . .
Ultimately, the financial burden of caring for uninsured people with diabetes gets passed on to all of us, through higher insurance premiums and taxes to support publicly funded hospitals and clinics. In Texas, treating complications from diabetes—including both direct and indirect expenses—costs an estimated $26 billion annually, according to the American Diabetes Association. The state’s Medicaid program spent about $163 million in 2019 for diabetes care. Diabetes accounts for $1 of every $4 spent on health care nationwide, with diabetes-related medical expenses and the cost of reduced productivity totaling as much as $327 billion annually, and that figure continues to rise.
Uninsured diabetes patients in the U.S. make 60 percent fewer office visits and use 52 percent fewer medications than their insured counterparts, but they make 168 percent more emergency room visits, which are often expensive for patients and taxpayers alike. A review of ER patients in 2015 found that a quarter of those ages 45 and older were there because of complications arising from diabetes, and a quarter of these patients relied on Medicaid for payment.
. . . . .
For instance, at a retail price of $12,666 per year, Mounjaro isn’t cheap, but spending that amount to help a patient avoid serious kidney damage and the resulting dialysis—for which Medicare pays at least $31,500 annually per patient and $90,000 a year for patients with end stage renal disease—is a bargain.
