[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 912847, member: 17713"] GPs used to be considered as Gods years ago. That isn't the case anymore. However, I believe it is important for GPs to actually ask "would you consider eating less (carbs)? Would you be willing to adjust your diet or are you just wanting medication?" Trouble is there is a conflict of interests.. They get paid by results... They have targets for their pay under DES and QOF and more!! And limited time per patient. So the easiest option is drugs...
