Right-to-try laws. April 19, 2019

Right-to-try laws are U.S. state and Federal laws that were created to let terminally ill patients try experimental therapies (drugs, biologics, devices) that have completed Phase I testing but have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

       There are con and pros, and it never will be pure prove that this Law is good or bad. What I hope it will do more good then bad. On one hand, with this law doctors will push drugs that they paid to Px. We all do know very well how greedy Medical Complex is. On the other hand, if I can use this Right-to-try law then probably more diabetics would be rather take insulin then Metformin and Invocana. At least we can try to find what is good for us, then relay on greedy MD. Unfortunately, Act is for drugs which were not proved by FDA, and Insulin is medicine which has clear prove  as treatment for diabetes.
      If Right -to-try law would protect my rights to try medicine I wish to take rather then medicine I do not see as being beneficial for me, I would be able to get Caumadin, I still not able to get Rx for. I do have DVT, passed many mini strokes, and not fatal heart attacks, and I am diabetic over 60 years old with high blood pressure. I do have all prove to try this medicine, and still, I do not have it in my medical box, why?
      Today I do have insulin in my medical box, and dose of insulin is 480 units daily. Very unusually high. This dose even high for type 1 insulin dependent diabetic. I am non insulin dependent diabetic type 2. According to WHO and ADA classification I do not insulin to be my  medicine. This is why in hospital every time first act what any MD do is stop insulin as part of my treatment regime.
     Why in hospital they stop insulin for me? Because of, according to MD I do not have diabetes. My A1c is less then 5%, and it is lover then be for diagnose of diabetes. Every time I have to prove, without insulin I do not have blood sugar control, and blood sugar going above the sky right in hospital room.
      What if patient has 400 mg/dl fasting sugar in ER? 1000 mg/dl level of sugar in urine? What doctors in ED do with this patient? They send us home. No any records. No insulin to inject. No Rx to insulin. I am diabetic type 2, insulin independent type of diabetes.
     If I can use my rights to try medicine, I can demand insulin, as well as many other types of medicine. But there is no Right to try for us. What I do see in this Act the flood of illegal medicine and Rx from MD right to my Health Plan, that it is I who demand to use my Right-to-try this medicine. Very danger for us, I wish to say. But law is law. It never was created to protect us, common people.
