Are doctors too quick to prescribe meds over supporting lifestyle change?

[QUOTE="graj0, post: 917660"] I wonder if they make assumptions of a person's lifestyle which is exactly what my endocrinologist did back in '97, and went for the meds straight away. He didn't ask about my diet and was only mildly interested in the amount of walking that I did at the time. He didn't actually make any attempt to advise me to cut down on carbs which might have been a good start. He didn't even tell me anything about my diabetes except "you can't believe everything you read on the internet", true, but I knew that anyway. I'd like to think that there is a change in that attitude, [/QUOTE]
