Paula,
We're onto that, but Actos was first brought up in the news four years ago! MFJJ funded the initial study and there has been no movement on it. I searched for the lead researchers name "Marina Emborg" and it doesn't even look like it is on her radar...another possible major treatment sucked into the black hole.
If Debi Brooks is reading...help!
