[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1831870, member: 400972"] Here’s some things to cover with your Dr [LIST] [*]Make sure you know all your results, not just your HbA1c, but cholesterol, liver and kidney numbers too (we can help you interpret anything you don’t understand). Ask for a printout then ask to register to view your results on line for future reference when you’ll want to make comparisons. [*]He/she may want to automatically put you on tablets for your Diabetes and also Statins for your cholesterol. Neither are essential, so stand your ground if you want to go for diet alone as many people do for Type 2. Cholesterol and Statins are controversial and there is a lot of disagreement about whether they are good or bad, so do some home work. Type cholesterol or Statins into the search here and you’ll see what I mean! [*]Check when your next review will be, who it’ll be with and ask if you will get a reminder or if you just book an appt yourself. [*]Arrangements should be made for you to get an eye check, a foot check and a place on an education course. [/LIST] Others may think of more things for you to ask. Please try not to be rushed or bamboozled into doing anything you don’t want to do or don’t understand. Hope your appt goes well. [/QUOTE]
