Hi all
I have finally made MrB go to drs to get himself checked for T2 as I've been worrying about him recently. He is overweight, tired and seems to be drinking and urinating more. As a T1 for 26 years I know about hba1c test etc so assumed Dr would request this. However he has been sent for a fasting test instead. Can anyone tell me what this looks for? Will it just give his 'at the time' BS level or an average? I've no experience with T2. Sorry to sound thick
