[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 122747, member: 20149"] Nigel, it's all in there!!... The problem is that any GP's who do not wish to prescribe will always "doctor" the argument in their favour. I would like to see something more specific, whereby the GP is OBLIGED to prescribe where an indivdual can prove beyond doubt that his/her achievements surpass the norm for that GP practice!!. We typically achieve significant weight loss, HBA1C of 5.X and show a high degree of self management and responsible engagement. Salient points from the article :- [color=#0000FF]Individuals with non-insulin treated diabetes who are motivated by SMBG activity and use the information to maximise the effect of lifestyle and medication should be encouraged to continue to monitor. "They identify that some people with Type 2 diabetes do derive benefit from SMBG, as it can support self-management, and impact on empowerment and motivation. SMBG should be made available to those who find it useful and have been provided with education in its use. "The report also reflects the potentially damaging effect of the arbitrary removal of SMBG from individuals who view it as a key part of diabetes self management.[/color] Steve [/QUOTE]
