What are your other treatment options?

Why is this better than other options?

Those are questions that I would want my doctor to be answering before I injected myself with this.

Maybe it is "the best option for you at this time", but I would certainly want to hear all the pros/cons and why the doctor thinks this is best. They should be able to explain what this will do for you that another medication can't - how safe it is compared to other options or if there is risks but the mitigation of complications makes it worthwhile.

(as an example a low carb diet reduces life expectancy by 4 years - uncontrolled sugars reduce life expectancy by 10 to 20 years - so do you want to shave 4 years or 20 years off your life - both are crappy choices, but one is better)

And if they can't answer those questions maybe check to see if AstraZeneca is funding a family vacation for the Doc.
