Hello : am new in the UK and wish to know where can 3 monthly Hb1AC test can be done?
NHS does yearly test and other on request but not every 3 months
Can some one advise ? I am in Reading Berkshire areas. Thank you

If you got private health care via your work go through there....I did one last week (2 months int Diagnosis)
 
As a type 2 NICE guidelines say HbA1c should be checked every six months
 
Quite a few places to choose from if you go private.
Try the Medicare clinic in Reading (google it) that does what they call a "Diabetic package" for £50 that includes HbA1c
 
Surgeries try to fob you off with annual checks, just remind them that NICE guidelines state 6 monthly.
