Ayyayo, these scientists must have strong hearts, yaar, starting with tiny doses in healthy volunteers after animals, just to see if the medicine is safe for our bodies, not if it works. Phase 1 measures how the drug travels inside and what it does to the blood and organs, all while watching for any terrible reactions. But I'll tell you, seeing my sugar levels, I think they are too careful—by the time a new diabetes medicine reaches my age group in trials, my Ammi's old complications are already here, so what is this 'first' dose for us? It feels like watching a bus being tested on a smooth road when we live down a dusty, potholed lane.
