Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="noblehead" data-source="post: 122571" data-attributes="member: 11028">Iain,I don't think anyone can make that decision for you I'm afraid!This discussion comes up time and time again on the forum, members wanting to know what other members think about them being prescribed a certain medication by their gp.  Unfortunately no one can answer the question, no one on the forum is medically qualified to do so, or indeed know the posters present and past medical history.  The best person to discuss this with is your gp, should you not be happy with their advice, ask to speak with another gp for their opinion.I often wonder though, those people that refuse to take medicines that are prescribed for them by their gp/consultants, do they ever wonder what the implications may be should they fall ill or god forbid die, when the meds could have helped prevent this happening in the first place.  Another thing to consider also, is that should you or your loved one wish to claim on a insurance policy (illness/life policy/pension) and the insurance company writes to your gp for a report, what are the ramifications when it is noted that you refused to take the medicine that was recommended/prescribed?Sounds dramatic I know, but I do often wonder about this scenario.Best wishesNigel</blockquote>
