Start with the medicine, then the service

The medicine

Liraglutide imitates a hormone from the gut. That hormone signals within the body to help control blood sugar and hunger.

The care program

Use that word as a prompt: what visits, medicine, charges and follow-up does this service include?

The medicine has a name. Ask what comes with the program.

Start with the question that is keeping you from moving forward.
