...Many doctors delay prescribing nsulin to
patients with type 2 diabetes for as long as possible, a
new international study shows. This can be a bad thing
for patients, Dr. Mark Peyrot, the study's lead author,

inclined to tell patients that they need medication, and
what we see happening as a result of that is that they
often try and emphasize methods that are not as powerful
as they could be," he said ...
