[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 892484, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. Yes, one HBa1C test is enough to give a valid result and 7.4% is diabetic but could have been a lot worse so don't panic. The Metformin is a good drug to start with and if your husband can go with the low-carb diet he should see weight and blood sugar drop. T2s aren't normally referred to a diabetologist (diabetic consultant) as there is no need; the treatment options are well known by the GP, DN and on this forum. A consultant can be useful for those with unusual forms of diabetes or T1s who don't conform. [/QUOTE]
