Anti-Inflammatory Drug Improves Glycemia, Lowers Inflammation In Obese, Young Adults

Maybe. But weight loss does it for sure, costs less (in fact, is profitable) and without harmful side effects.
"An anti-inflammatory drug similar to aspirin may provide an inexpensive means of treating and/or reducing the risk for diabetes in obese young adults by reducing glycemia and lowering inflammation, a study being published in the February issue of Diabetes Care finds.

While researchers have long been aware that high doses of aspirin could reduce blood glucose levels, they have neither understood the mechanisms behind this effect nor been willing to tolerate the risk for stomach bleeding associated with this treatment. However, recent breakthroughs in our understanding of why weight gain is unhealthy point an incriminating finger at inflammation, and suggest that anti-inflammatory treatment strategies might have benefits."
Notice there remains no understanding of "the mechanisms behind this effect."

Also notice that this is not a solution to the problem of overweight/obesity, only a possible bandage.

A new way to harm you on the cheap.
