    Hi Kenneth,

    No need to apologise, different news sites report things differently, some perhaps not all of the information. Hope you clicked through and read the one we shared.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Ange.

    Isn't that the truth! Commercial TV news has a habit of announcing medical "breakthroughs" anything up to 5 years too early, and sometimes inaccurately.

    And their coverage of Ozempic/Trulicity as weight loss medications when they are actually diabetes treatments has been absolutely appalling
