A member asked:
How short do you have to be to qualify for hgh injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 standard deviation: The quick answer is that you need to be below 2 standard deviations for your height and weight. You may also need a specific diagnosis such as idiopathic growth hormone deficiency, intrauterine growth retardation, etc. Insurance companies usually publish these criteria if you do an internet search.
