[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1633491, member: 410240"] [I]"The QOF also sets stringent guidelines about effective treatment and doctors are further rewarded when more than half their diabetic patients score blood-sugar levels below seven" [/I] As I said the payment is not for prescribing drugs, GPs can make more money by telling people about Low Carb, as it gets more of their patients with a low enough AC1. I don't know why the daily mail is using US units but in our units its an AC1 of 53 they get the reward for getting us below, given we all wish to get way lower than that, I don't see it as an issue. Once again the payments (unlike statins) are not linked to prescribing drugs, they are linked to results. And most of us would be better off if our GPs had done AC1 tests on us a lot early. [/QUOTE]
