After months and months of scares and media coverage on the possible heart risks of taking the diabetes drug Avandia, a "black box" warning will soon come to that drug's packaging.

The "black box" warnings will contain severe warnings about the possible side effects of taking the drug, and GlaxoSmithKline (the drug's manufacturer) apparently agreed to the addition. It probably knows that not too many patients even pay attention to all the information that comes with their medicines. In my experience, this is certainly true.

If you're a diabetes patient taking Avandia right now, what's your take on this latest development?
