[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2269560, member: 41816"] Why would running a routine HbA1c offend patients? And it is by no means only the 'obese' that need health checks. In the UK, the NHS has a system of regular monitoring for patients (which includes an HBA1c test as part of the list of tests). [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/[/URL] Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 years is invited to attend a health check every few years. Not everyone accepts the invitation. Those who already have conditions that need monitoring are excluded from the health check invite, on the expectation that their scheduled monitoring will cover the same ground as the health check.
