Clinical › Prescriber conversations prior authorisation type 2 diabetes telehealth

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

This follows post #148 rather than contradicting it.

Prescription logistics: confirm whether it will be filled locally, requires mail order, or will be prescribed off-label and needs a compounding pharmacy. Different paths have different implications.

buffer_review, post #86: Discussing side effects: be specific. "Nausea" is less useful than "I have nausea worst 24 to 36 hours after injection, severity 2 to 3 out of 4, stable over weeks". That description helps determine whether to adjust dose or dose timing. Go to post

I read post #150 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Preparing for an appointment: bring recent bloodwork, a list of current medications with doses and timing, and any questions written out. Written questions get better answers than questions asked on the fly.
