I asked about Exenatide trial from my neurologist on a routine appointment last week and he said that the trial faced some financial problems and no pharmaceutical company wanted to accept the risk since they are getting enough profits with selling the drug to diabetic patients.

Thanks for sharing this. It's unfortunate that we are at the mercy of big pharma

On that basis, actually finding a cure would be terrible news ans should be avoided at all costs!
