Questions for Diabetics
Hey guys.
Hoping for some feedback:
I am interviewing for a position with a company who has developed an inhaled insulin to replace short action insulins at meals. I'm trying to do a little research from a patient perspective so I am going into the interview and potential job with eyes open.
In my short time with nursing, I have met quite a few patients who were non compliant because they didn't like the multiple injections per day. The bruising is terrible and I can't imagine how that can impact their daily treatment.
Best I can tell the data looks good as a replacement but the down side is the cost (though a lot of insurance pays for it, not sure how many).
My questions are how much does an average month of injected meal time insulin cost? Does insurance cover most of it? Is an inhaled version something you would be wiling to try?
What questions or concerns would you have?
