[QUOTE="david4503, post: 2528355, member: 557245"] When you say the GP will “assign your treatment depending on their perception” what exactly does that mean? Say you’re already well-controlled on a certain regimen of MDI with certain types of insulin and a certain diet. Can they reassess that and force you somehow to make a change they think you should make? Or is the patient the decision-maker in a case like that? In the U.S. you generally don’t have to worry about doctors making arbitrary decisions that you don’t agree with. You simply find another doctor who is more reasonable or shares your point of view. But I get the feeling that the NHS gives the GP or the consultant or whoever you’re dealing with way more power over treatment options than over here. [/QUOTE]
