I had DKA in 2024. I need a lower-cost basal insulin, preferably a vial. Please prescribe the appropriate insulin and dose.
Forgot to mention clonidine before start
My psychiatrist currently has me taking clonidine for sleep. Another doctor recently prescribed clomiphene, but I forgot to mention that I am already taking clonidine.
