[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 952803, member: 94045"] Well I have to leap to the defence of the care we receive in my area of England. I was diagnosed with an A1c of 53 after having a FBG of 7mmol/l on a routine blood test. I was immediately put on the diabetic care pathway as suggested by NICE. I had 3 monthly A1c checks until I was stable at an A1c of 43, and am now on 6 monthly checks. I get all the other blood tests for liver/kidneys/FBC/cholesterol etc every 6 months, have my eye and foot tests annually, and can phone my nurse whenever I want. I also asked for an interim cholesterol test when I was put on 6 monthly because I was concerned my levels may have deteriorated after increasing my fat intake by a lot. I got the test and they threw in an HbA1c as well. I have no negative issues with my care at all other than the usual poor dietary advice. [/QUOTE]
