[QUOTE="diamante, post: 892379, member: 193561"] Hello! My husband has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by our family doctor, who has read the results of his blood tests (June 25): glycated hemoglobin: 7.4%: 57 mmol/mol; glucose level in blood 144 all the other results (blood and urine) are OK, except monocytes 11,7 (normal range: 5.0 -10.9) Blood pressure is normal. He's 49 yrs old, obese, never tried drinking/smoking Our doctors prescribed metformin (500 mg at lunch + 500 mg at dinner) and simply said my husband has to pay attention to his food and try to have more exercise. He has to ckeck his glucose blood level 4 times a day with a glucometer. The blood tests have been prescribed by the ophtalmologist because my husband has a new macular edema (he had choroidal myopic neovascularization past year, treated with Lucentis) and he'll almost surely have another intravitreal injection. No need to say, I'm awfully scared this eye trouble is related to diabetes! My question is: Is it normal to diagnose a diabetes just after only one blood test, is not better to repeat it? And what about seeing a diabetologist? Many thanks for your attention, best redards and wishes to all. Diamante [/QUOTE]
