[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1791275"] This is a point well raised, one is under the impression by taking metformin that will allow them to lets say be lazy, just continue eating what is not good for diabetes at the end of the day and whose fault is this, the medical industry is my thinking for allowing this situation, its too easy, I have had my own doctor say here in Spain, its easier just to give metformin, as people dont want to change diet or lifestyle, not everyone can be motivated as yourself, so metformin is easier, is that the right approach I dont think so? its the same pop a pill for Blood pressure, this will allow you to continue eating as much salt as you like....for goodness sake medical system, pushing pills when surely it would have been much better sound medical advice to say, cut down salt, if you add whilst cooking, dont add at table, lets wait 6 months do a review cutting down salt, rather than immediately say pop a pill daily to allow you eat what you want basically, does not seem good medical sense, but then who am I, to decide, sadly many people go along with this system, so the patient becomes the victim of following old habits and not changing, as he thinks the pill will allow him to do this, but the question as I see it, the problem whether diabetes or blood pressure, does not get better its getting worse underneath, as no lifestyle change is taking place?
