Hi I’ve only been on insulin since May and I’ve had 5 hba1c tests prior during and since insulin November February May August November I’m just wondering how frequent people who are type 2 usually have Hba1c on insulin .thanks in advance kx
 
Last hba1c was august next one feb. Not on insulin tho.
 
Not on meds. Diagnosed in June 2017 following Blood tests.
Had one in Oct and next one is later this month. I think the NHS likes you to have at least 2 per year but you can have them every three months. One of hte other more infomraed memeber can confirm or advise but I think the HBa1C is the longer term test and the medics like to have 3 months in between tests as it more accuretly depicts any changes.
 
The normal recommended regime is every 3 months when a new med is added until such time as the medication is found to be working and things are stabilising. It shows your care team is looking after you.
 
Hi, how do you arrange for them to be done?
