Hi
I’m due to see my GP tomorrow to ask to be tested for diabetes (hba1c). I suspect I’m pre-diabetic. I’ve been recording my fasting BG all week (5.5, 5.8, 7.3, 5.6, 5.8, 6.8, 6) plus a couple of 2hour post meals. I’ve been using the glucorx nexus which is the one NHS use.
I’m worried I’m going to be fobbed off by the doctor. Is there anything that I can say or ask to make sure I get the right tests/advice/treatment? I was going to ask for a referral to a dietician as well. Not sure if that would be standard though?
Thanks in advance
