[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1760633, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=472551]@Dexie1[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Tell your gp of your worries, and that there is Type 2 diabetes in your family. You say you are obese so your gp should take your concerns seriously. My gp wanted me to see a dietitian when I was overweight, not obese, but I couldn't go as the appointments were during my working times. Your gp might do the finger prick test at the appointment, or refer you to the practice nurse to do it. If you are referred for a full HbA1c blood test, ask for a printout of the results if you don't have online access to your medical test results. [/QUOTE]
