Chapter 65 Live broadcast of medicine test
Deng Jie is a type 2 diabetic patient.
Because of the high price of liraglutide, Deng Jie could not afford it, so he could only settle for the next best thing and choose to sign up for the Phase III clinical trial of the new drug.
After applying for a place in the third phase clinical trial of Metformin, Deng Jie shared the news with his patient group.
At the unanimous suggestion of the patients in the patient group, Deng Jie started a live broadcast to record his daily drug testing, so that the patients in the group could understand the efficacy of the drug in real time.
Deng Jie let out a long sigh, and then took out today's amount of medicine from his pocket.
However, before taking the medicine, Deng Jie pointed the camera of his mobile phone at himself and prepared to start the live broadcast.
Soon, hundreds of people gathered in the live broadcast room, and without exception, these people were all patients in the patient group.
Old Deng, you finally started. I've been waiting for you for a long time.
It's amazing, Lao Deng, you applied for a spot in the third phase of clinical practice.
Lao Deng is trying medicine for the first time. I hope it will work.
Watching the patients chatting in the live broadcast room, Deng Jie smiled and said, Okay, no more nonsense, I'll start.
Listening to Deng Jie's words, the patients in the live broadcast room also cheered up one by one.
Deng Jie first briefly introduced his situation.
The current situation is the first day of the drug trial. I have just finished lunch. After 2 hours, the blood sugar will reach the peak. If you take the medicine now and measure the blood sugar 2 hours later, you should be able to see the effect of the medicine.
After saying that, Deng Jie took out the medicine, took it, and then drank some water.
After doing all this, there was a long two-hour wait, and during these two hours, the patients in the live broadcast room started chatting to relieve their boredom.
I heard that this drug is quite controversial on the Internet. Do you think there is any chance that the drug will be successful this time?
Okay, stop daydreaming. We have tried many drugs over the years. Which one has worked?
Don't have high hopes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Just have some hope. If Lao Deng is lucky and succeeds, then we people will be lucky.
In the live broadcast room, some people are not optimistic, but there are also some people who are optimistic.
Watching the chatter of the patients in the live broadcast room, Deng Jie also gave a wry smile. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this medicine. He just had no choice but to choose a dead horse as a live doctor.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
The patients in the live broadcast room seemed to be holding a stopwatch and began to urge Deng Jie one by one.
Lao Deng, hurry up, we're here in two hours.
Do you feel anything from this medicine? Lao Deng?
Okay, stop being ridiculous. You think it's a panacea that will be effective after taking it once?
Looking at the anxious patients in the live broadcast room, they wanted to rush directly to the screen to measure their blood sugar.
Deng Jie smiled and said, although everyone said they were not optimistic about the drug, they still couldn't help but look forward to it when the results came out.
Deng Jie understands this feeling. When he saw the results of other people's drug trials, he also felt this kind of heart-wrenching feeling. But after the results came out, he always left disappointed.
It's a pity that everyone will be disappointed again, Deng Jie thought to himself.
However, the process still needs to be followed. The patients in the group have been waiting in the live broadcast room for so long, isn’t it just for a result?
Deng Jie dug out a box containing blood glucose test strips and a palm-sized portable blood glucose meter from his backpack.
The blood sugar level of normal people is 3.86~6.11mmol/L, and in his current situation, without medication, the blood sugar level is basically around 11mmol/L 2 hours after a meal.
If the drug is effective, although it is impossible for his blood sugar to directly reach the normal level when he takes the drug for the first time, there is still no problem in lowering it to about 10.5mmol/L.
Deng Jie was thinking in his mind.
Then Deng Jie stretched out his finger, and there were needle holes visible to the naked eye on his finger.
Since suffering from type 2 diabetes, Deng Jie has measured and monitored his blood sugar levels at regular intervals to judge his current physical condition.
Deng Jie took out a blood collection needle and pricked the skin of his finger. He squeezed a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the blood sugar test paper.
As Deng Jie inserted the blood-stained test strip into the blood glucose meter, the entire live broadcast room suddenly held its breath and concentrated.
These hundreds of patients have been staring at the screen, for fear that if they don't pay attention, they will miss the results.
Just as Deng Jie was thinking about how to comfort the patients later,
The blood glucose meter quickly reads the blood sugar level.
Deng Jie casually glanced at the reading on the blood glucose meter. However, the moment he saw the reading on the blood glucose meter, he was suddenly stunned.
But Deng Jie's surprise made the patients in the live broadcast room look anxious.
Old Deng, tell me quickly, what's the result?
Don't be dazed, tell me the result quickly!
It's over. Lao Deng's reaction is probably because he is extremely disappointed and cannot accept the reality.
Lao Deng?
The patients in the live broadcast room were going crazy with anxiety. The feeling of waiting for the results made them scratch their hearts and lungs. At this moment, they wanted to get out of the screen and see what the reading on the blood glucose meter was.
At this time, Deng Jie suddenly came to his senses and quickly showed the reading on the blood glucose meter in front of the camera.
Through the camera, every patient in the live broadcast room can clearly see the blood sugar level displayed on the blood glucose meter.
The moment I saw the reading on the blood glucose meter, the entire live broadcast room seemed to freeze.
Silence, deathly silence!
9.58mmol/L!
This is the reading on the blood glucose meter!
This dead silence lasted for just two or three seconds, and then the entire live broadcast room suddenly boiled.
Damn it, did I read that correctly? What's going on!
The first dose can reduce it to 9.5mmol/L. Doesn't it only take a week to return to normal levels?
Awesome, this medicine is really useful, really useful!
The patients in the live broadcast room all seemed to be crazy.
Lao Deng, take the test again, don't make a mistake, take the test again!
After being reminded by the patient, Deng Jie also felt that he might have made a mistake.
Deng Jie did not dare to neglect at all. He quickly pricked the skin on his other hand and measured blood sugar again.
9.56mmol/L.
This time it’s lower!
This result made the patients in the live broadcast room completely crazy. This new anti-diabetic drug gave them hope!
Zhou Cao, no, I have to tell the other patients in the group!
There is a chance. This medicine really has a chance. Lao Deng, you are really our lucky star!
The wait is finally here, I have finally waited for this day!
Looking at the excited patients in the live broadcast room, Deng Jie suddenly smiled, with a somewhat relieved smile.
Yes, they have been waiting for this day for too long.
