I have not seen a list of available meds since the 2009 forecast. there needs to be list of meds and side effect plus the many new generic medicines of brand names. Many now have generic and i have found some at the local and nation wide pharmacies for $4. Also you should add if brand name with no generics and glucose meters and test strips have a patient assisstance program. I mean the last two cosumer reports have been gargage weneed all the info we can get.
Medications
A patient has been type 2 diabetic for 10 years or more and has been on oral medications. His doctor has recently switched him to insulin because his blood sugar levels were way out of control. I've encouraged him to go back to his doctor because he didn't ask enough questions and there is some confusion. Does the insulin replace the oral medications or should he still be taking them?
