[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 548274, member: 101256"] I'm sure they do what they think is best, and the majority of patients (not just diabetics) accept what they are told without question, which in the 'good old days' we all probably did in complete confidence. Now however it is so different with the power money and influence of the pharm companies. I'm not sure that most GPs would admit to being influenced, but they are. But in other professions you have to be independent or at least declare an interest if you are pushing a certain product. Presumably doctors have to conform to CPD of some kind? Does that include refreshers in ethics? Keeping up to date with developments in all fields must be well nigh impossible now, but that being the case they can hardly be surprised if those who are motivated enough come up with different solutions through their own research. Good for those who embrace this, but I suspect they are quite few for now [/QUOTE]
