Are you on any meds? What was your HbA1c? Have you had a foot check? Have you had your retinal screening? Have you been invited to an education course? Were your cholesterol, lipids, liver and kidney functions within standard? Sorry for all the questions, but you really should have had an appointment with a nurse/GP by now.
Hello, and thanks for the concern!. I am on metformin. My last hbalc was 36. I was dx because of carpel tunnel syndrome led to as blood test. The gp phoned me to say I was also hypothyroid, there was a prescription waiting for me at reception and by the way, see the practice nurse. So a month later I saw the practice nurse who told me I was t2d and gave me metformin. She did a foot check, but forgot to order the retinopathy check. If it had not been for this forum I would never have known about it.
My cholesterol was done last year with the original test.
I asked to go on a course and have just started xpert.
Kidneys test done at same time, all ok.
No idea about liver.
Have never seen a gp about any of it.
Its impossible to get an appointment.
This forum has quite literally been a life saver.
