[QUOTE="Blossom1977, post: 1737629, member: 423578"] 6 months ago I was diagnosed with diabetes after two non fasting blood test results. One was HbA1c, 11. The other was HbA1c 10.5. I asked if I could try controlling my blood sugar levels myself, before taking medication. The doctor agreed to let me try. Today I phoned up the surgery to see if my new blood test results were ready. The receptionist looked at my results and said that the doctor had left a note saying that everything is within normal levels, so no need to see the doctor. So I asked what my HbA1c was, she said 5.9. So I had a keep google And saw that it was the high end of normal. But I’m happy that I managed to get the figures down. But what happens now. Do I just carry on as I have been. Keep self testing and watching the carb and sugar intake (I’ll do that anyway) Or should I be insisting on seeing the doctor to see what he says is the next step?
