[QUOTE="sltrog, post: 366748, member: 64633"] Hi. I have just received my HbA1c appointment in the post for the 19th April. I'm really happy as I thought it might take longer to come. As my readings have been all over the place for years the doctor wants to start me on medication, while I would like to wait till the results of the test. I'm loath to start as once on them I feel there will be no turning back.My mother is now on insulin and still struggling to get control, she's been diabetic for over 20 years. I suppose I am unsure as the doctors haven't exactly been helpful or full of advice, but then again it may just be me wanting an answer like now. I have quite a few autoimmune problems, which the GP is diagnosing one by one - so far we have been at this for over 4 years. Anyway do you wise people have any fors or againsts having medication before the test. At the moment I am running on average about 9.7mmol/L (175mg/dL). My mum has her own struggles so I don't want to pester her. [/QUOTE]
