AMLN—Judging from my reading today, there is a host of analysts, media writers, commentators and other assorted stone-throwers with little or no knowledge of what HbA1c level really means to either a normal person, or a T1 diabetic or a T2 diabetic.

For readers of this board in particular, I would respectfully disagree; I think most readers here do understand what HbA1c is all about.

If I had the authority, I would fire whoever wrote or approved today's PR from AMLN/LLY.

What would you have them say??

In any non-inferiority study, there’s a prespecified delta that governs how much worse a drug can be relative to the comparator while still being considered statistically non-inferior. Bydureon failed to meet this threshold in the study in question.

From wikipedia:

Normally wikipedia is very reliable, but I think that entry has what I consider a very serious error.

May as well turn it into a quiz. Who can find the error?
