my husband has been taking the Bydureon pen 2mg and our deductible has gone up and we can t afford it so our doctor suggested we call our insurance company to see if they had something else that we could afford and this this is what they suggested or should I say what would be cheaper, my and they said Glimepiride is the only thing that they could suggest that would be cheaper, my question is will this be just as effective as the Bydureon.
