[QUOTE="GeordieBoi, post: 219538, member: 22925"] All very good points (yours and others) but my problem is one related to side effects and the long, slow downhill route of starting medications (therefore I'll finish=continue forever !!). I am a Clinical Biochemist with a fair bit of experience of drug therapy and monitoring (we used to measure the drug levels although not in relation to Diabetees when I worked in Labs). Forgive my cynicism but start the drug and develop side effect, take another drug for that side effect, now you have a problem with something else and before you know it you're taking 20 pills a day. I saw it happen to my grand mother (maternal side - late onset Type II), my mother (late onset - Type II), my father but less to do with Diabetes and then others family, friends and colleagues. They do say, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing", right ;-) ? [/QUOTE]
