As far as I'm concerned, the best thing my nurses did for me when I was in hospital following dx was give me a fist full of syringes and tell me to get on with it. | Kinda off the main topic here but that is my biggest worry. Doctors are going to prescribe this for newly diagnosed diabetics. They will use it for about a year or so and then find out their A1C is still in the 9 or 10s. So the doctor will then tell them they need to go on shots.
That to me causes a huge medical problem which can end up in more lawsuits. Patients will either be really upset and think their condition is worsening or the real bright ones will think for the past year they were prescribed a useless medicine. At which point patients will start getting the lawyers out and suing doctors and psizer (however you spell it) for long term problems they will develop down the years for having a high A1C for such a long time when it should have been brought down.
