[QUOTE="AM1874, post: 1476865, member: 379847"] Some simple questions .. 1. If this should be "once daily dosing", how come I (and, I suspect, many others) was told to start with 1x 500g and then, after a few days, increase to 2x500g, one in the morning and one in the evening? .. and that's what is written on my prescription 2. If the initial dose should be "adjusted after 10 to 15 days on the basis of blood glucose measurements", how come the doc told me not to test? How do they get the BG measurements on which to base their decision? 3. The approval rationale shows clearly that "lifestyle modification is still the primary way of reliably reducing blood glucose levels" .. so why do they insist on refusing to accept LCHF and exercise as an effective and successful method for lifestyle modification, preferring instead to push the Eatwell plate and starchy carbs? Or, can we now expect changes in the current NHS treatment regime?? [/QUOTE]
