A while ago someone mentioned GPs are paid for treating different conditions using a points system. Could someone pass along more info on this, as I'd like to investigate further. Thanks.

Sad to say that as long as we hypo's don't take up time in the A & E department we are considered low score on the points system.
I think next time you visit your GP, just before you leave, you might just drop a "hope you're not claiming for my treatment via QUAF" !!! Your GP will probably do a double take and perhaps swallow a couple of times... after all what do we know !!!
