83 cases of hyperglycemia of 150,000 US protease inhibitor users. Is that more or less than the rate for the general population? Do the cases occur disproportionately amongst the very sick, or throughout the user population? Is hyperglycemia linked to or aggravated by fasting dosages and large intakes of water?

This is a very early indication of a manageable side effect, with many questions yet to be answered.

An analyst quoted in the news story, Hemant Shah, said that hyperglycemia labeling would not put a dent in the PI market. Hyperglycemia is manageable; HIV is not manageable without PI's.
