Hoping for a @virtahealth 2.0 with randomization and some more guidance on emphasizing unsaturated fats. My bets are on much better lipid profile than they saw with just the large weight loss.https://twitter.com/YoniFreedhoff/status/1065199280409989121 …
Actually, not so much. None of the clinicians I know has so far been impressed with Virta, particularly after seeing the ~$6,000 AUD per year price tag

If finance is concern then you need to run the numbers. What is the cost savings of insulin reduction/elimination, other medications, and then estimate decrease in T2d complications based on lowering a1c, ldl-p, bp, crp, etc. etc Suspect $6000 is very cost effective.

Or consider if results can translate into “ordinary” interdisciplinary practice. No increase in personnel/time but improved efficacy of a dietary intervention paired with appropriate medication de-escalation w/ good chance of remission. Beats life long insulin & q3mo visits.
