However, sometimes it can go too fast. For example, Rezulin, Propulsid (or Prevacid, I forget which one was pulled off the market two years ago), Thalidomide. Sometimes the adverse effects aren't seen first. If the trial only looks at people over 6 months, is there any impact with longer use, such as a year, or 5, or 30? Does your insurance only cover Met if you're "diabetic?" Your doctor should be able to write a letter of need explaining why you need it though you're not diabetic. Or, you can keep with the needle reminders and not stir things up. :-) Renee "Genny H." wrote: > > What is the problem? It is over-regulation.
