Welcome to your new family of friends & knowledge that is so helpful in helping control the condition, unlike the Nhs gumph.
Just browse around & ask, if your not asking your probably got things under control
When was it you were diagnosed?
Unless it was 3 or more months ago your monday hbA1c most likely will not be much diffo as it's an average of the last 3 monthsish so will still be showing glucose from prior to diagnosis.
Given that it's a complete blood screening she wants, I guess that a refreshed hbA1c is only a welcome side effect. The last screening was hemolytic, so I guess she has to repeat a few. On simple stuff like this I don't complain too much, it's just a few drops of blood.
I was diagnosed on Monday, the 2nd of March. Including a trip to the A&E because I was feeling miserable, and combined with the eye issues she wanted to have the blood screening rather now than later.
I've got my first appointment with the diabetic nurse at my practice on the 31st. So I'm quite interested in how that will go.
