Very good info. I wonder with myself if I need to cut down on my meds. and the insulin situation has been happening to me. I will keep this in mind and talk to my doctor about it.

Same here.
No matter how much I know I've been well educated (including to a degree in medicine) I find myself being a bit intimidated by doctors and their prescriptions - especially if they are affiliated with a top ranked medical center.

Resulting in feeling they have some kind of power over me, especially if they prescribe a medication. Thus it can help if someone reminds me (like windyshores above) that they can NOT force me to take something.

(Or even for that matter, undergo a procedure.)
That old "MDeity" effect, often aggravated by a given physician's portraying themselves as such.
