A lot of this is from memory from having to deal with this often enough:

Column widths are expressed in 'the number of zeros (0) that can fit in the cell with the Normal style'. This also allows for a 1-2 pixel margin on either side. That is, if you open a new workbook now and change column A to have width of 9 (instead of the default 8.43) and give it the value '000000000, you should see all nine zeroes perfectly centered in the cell, with no extra space on either side. You can test this by changing the cell's justification and notice that the zeroes do not shift with the justification (which would happen if there was any leftover space to justify).

Row heights, however, are expressed in points, as are any objects and shapes that are resizable on the sheet. A point is 1/72 of an inch, so you're really expressing those sizes in "real dimensions". The rendering engine then knows all of the dimensions in inches, which can then utilize the system's setting for dots-per-inch to produce graphics that appear consistent across different display settings.

(Note that column widths are based on font size, which are themselves expressed in those same 'points', meaning that all dimension measuring in Excel is essentially done in points.)

no real reason for the cost to have gone up instead of down

The net price of most insulins has been stable for years. The list price has been increasing specifically due to access negotiations (read: strong arming) by health insurance companies.

The oft-cited laws preventing government negotiation of pharmaceutical prices (i.e. for medicaid/medicare) is as much about protecting the bottom-line of payers as it is about propping up big P.

This is also why the headlines for insulin "price caps" (really they are coverage mandates) are unlikely to hurt big P significantly. The excess cost will be eaten by payers and subsequently translate into a rise in premiums.

I had a friend in college who cleaned up a pet "accident" with a wad of kitchen paper towels, and then proceeded to attempt to flush them down the toilet.

How often do you get serious plumbing calls (i.e. needing a snake or worse) where the tenant was literally retarded?

I go back and play 20XX relatively frequently, but I first bought it after you polished it up.

I went browsing for some info on the game once and saw it in its pre-KS state, and it definitely looked way worse. Even since I bought it (before the boss intros were added) it has improved visually.

I also really like that the update schedule is so predictable (there's even a countdown on the main screen!) as it lets me come back and check what's new on a regular basis.

Well, for one thing: diet and exercise is a very effective treatment for type 2 diabetes at any level. I think to some extent that has always been known, it's just that a typical type 2 diabetic person with type 2 diabetes tends to be someone who is less likely to take care of their body (that is a generalization, I know).

"How much" is going to be dependent on your body, the same way the propensity to develop type 2 diabetes is strongly correlated with obesity even though there are obese people without T2DM. Obviously the snarky answer is to increase your exercise level and lose weight up to the point that you find your diabetes not requiring treatment. Of course, this isn't a "cure" as much as it's a treatment, so returning to previous unhealthy habits will negate much of the benefit.

Most importantly, these are discussions that any specific person would need to have with their endocrinologist or their nutrition consultant.

edit: I think another point to be made is that while lifestyle-change alone can lead to the weight loss required to reverse T2DM, it's not a requirement. Bariatric surgeries can also lead to the appropriate weight loss, but the key (as always) is maintaining those health benefits.
