[QUOTE="Redsnapper, post: 984814, member: 198797"] Count to ten! Then count to ten again! Remember she can prescribe you whatever she likes but this does not mean you HAVE to take it. G.P.s are supposed to explain the advantages of new medication to you and then you agree together to use the medication.It appears this consultation fell a bit short of this. I do recall a story from here of an elderly lady who was adamant that her medication had changed,when her GP asked her why she was so sure of this she apparently replied "Well they don't flush down the toilet the same as the other ones". Really well done on your HbA1c and other stats that is a great result.Consider that a pat on the back from me. I am not sure I would go on metformin with your results.I do take it but have this week got down to an HbA1c of 42 so am arranging to see my G.P. to come off them and statins.I will be telling him what I intend to do,and give him the opportunity to persuade me otherwise. Anyway well done!! [/QUOTE]
