New Injection for Type 2...

I think that the UK and the US have very different medical systems.

It is my understanding that US patients can see a medication advert on the TV, go to their doc and request a prescription for it. Provided the doc and the patient's medical insurance approve the prescription, then the patient often gets what they want.

Here in the UK, no NHS doc is able to prescribe drugs that are not assessed and approved after evaluation by the NHS. And if a patient turns up and requests a certain type of treatment, because they have seen it advertised, the doc is likely to fall off their chair laughing. Doctors are usually severely guided by prescription protocols, to try different drugs in a certain order, until they find one that doesn't cause contraindications, and does have the desired effect.

Two different worlds.
