Message: <blockquote data-quote="christieuk" data-source="post: 2017" data-attributes="member: 2756">As an update, its been confirmed, am definitely diabetic as my fasting blood glucose was 8.6.  Seeing the diabetic nurse on 4th Feb and then a referral to the dietician.  The only thing I wasnt too sure about, a lot of you seem to test your blood regularly which my GP doesnt want me to do.  Hes put me on metaformin. 1 per day for a week increasing to 2per day for another week and then 3 per day the week after that. He says they only test blood sugar when the patient isnt well and then they test for the HAb1C.  Does that sound right, or should I check it more often?Thanks for reading.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
