[QUOTE="Lynne C J, post: 2347467, member: 86485"] This seems to be quite common for those with Type 2, I've heard it from friends. The GP's seem to think doing an HbA1C once a year is enough while I advise them to check it occasionally just to be sure everything is as it should be. It's a reassurance as much as anything. The worst stories are of diabetics in hospital where the staff don't seem to have much idea at all of how to handle diabetics, you're much better off looking after it yourself. [/QUOTE]
