[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 813876, member: 116810"] Whilst I agree that the OP should see how things go for a while, rather than diving into an orgy of medication, will a GP really make money from prescribing drugs for treatment of a condition? I believe that a practice will get a kind of "finders fee" for every diagnosis of Diabetes that they make, but do they get payment by results based on the amount of medication that their patients consume? I'd have thought the opposite would apply, if anything. (I am asking a question, rather than making an authoritative statement of facts, btw - in reality I haven't a clue. About anything ......... :)) To the OP : Whether or not to take drugs is entirely your choice - nobody can force you to do it and I think the very least you can expect from your GP is an explanation as to why you should embark on a drug regime when your levels appear to be heading in the right direction without them. But like DeejayR, that's just me :D [/QUOTE]
