I guess the main thing is once you have been told your HBa1C result is to discuss what medication you need if any and any changes if you are already on meds. Make sure that retinopathy has been arranged annually. I normally ensure I go away with a blood test form for my next test/review.

Hi bopper.
Write things down as you think of the things you wish to know more about .
Take your list along when you go , it will be seen as being proactive .
Also take a friend or family member along with you as support if you wish.
Ask about both feet and eye screening , as you 'are' entitled to a yearly screening of them both .
You can request a print out of your HbA1c test results or ask your GP to write these down for you.
Any tiredness or other symptoms you may be experiencing , jot them down and do ask about them ...
It is important to tackle the things that bother or affect 'you' .
Do you have a meter and test strips made available to you ?
If not - ask for them ...
It is impossible to just 'guess' yours or anyones BG levels .
Certainly discuss your future careplan of self maintenance of your own diabetes.
As once you leave your GP it can be a lonely journey of handling your diabetes on your own daily .
This is how and why we all help and support each other here.
Any other questions just ask them here, someone will pop along to help you .
Hope this helps.
Anna.
