Over 48 is diabetic.  The test is called hb1ac and is an average of the last 3 months levels. Often done as part of a battery of annual tests. If diagnosed diabetic it should be done 3 monthly til stable then 6 monthly. If he makes changes it might be worth asking for a more frequent test to show him the effect changes make for motivation or further adjustment. Daily fingerprick testing does this even more immediately but most drs don’t support this for type 2 as it costs too much and they don’t really understand it for this purpose.</p></blockquote><p></p>
