I’m just interested how many people T1/2 take it. As I was told it was once withdrawn from circulation and brought back. Just interested how widely used.Surely in order to assess any answers, you'd surely need to know how many members might be eligible to have it prescribed in the first place - so forget all the T1's, T3c, LADA, MODY and gestational - and what difference would it make to you anyway? What are you actually trying to find out about it?
Constructive criticism. Thank you Bruce. Will check this out.I don't know, but I wonder if you can get the information from https://openprescribing.net/
I meant it neutrally as a possible way to find out (which you might not have been aware of). It's entirely possible that it's useless for this (maybe all the similar drugs have the same code so you can't distinguish, for example).Constructive criticism. Thank you Bruce. Will check this out.
thank you for the information I will check it. as I posted just out of curiosity to see how many people were on it. I’m new to the site even though I’ve been T2 for 20yrs. It’s scary taking a drug you hear was once withdrawn. You’ve been great. Thank you again for postingI meant it neutrally as a possible way to find out (which you might not have been aware of).
