The shot must be given in the doctor's office and she has to wait 2 hours before leaving. The nurse said she can give herself the shot but apparently the waiting is what's important. As Kathy has had Type I diabetes for over 20 years, she is used to giving herself shots. So that's one patient's story - a major change and a big nuisance for her. What's happened to cause this change in policy?
