[QUOTE="Lally123, post: 1790806, member: 379571"] Fair point but even with education around testing most patients still wouldn't do it. Sadly those who take personal responsibility for their health and diabetes are in such a tiny minority. I do agree with you that good education is the key but not everyone thinks like we do. I think the GPs try to do their best for each patient but as they come under more and more pressure they simply don't have the time to sit and discuss with patients. I work in a different field with vastly higher levels of patient adherence to treatment and we have just introduced a structured on going education session covering all sorts of areas and through evaluation of a pilot we did, we noticed significantly better adherence just on that small number of patients. Maybe a similar thing should be done with type 2 diabetes current diabetes education is a one off session no wonder it doesn't get great results? [/QUOTE]
