[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1389688, member: 94045"] You should have been on 3 monthly blood tests initially, then 6 months until such time as your levels are stable and within target, and your meds are OK. This is especially important for people on steroids. [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng28/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2[/URL] I have been diagnosed since January 2014. Since June 2014 all my HbA1c results have been in the pre-diabetic range or non-diabetic range. I am not on any medication. I still have 6 monthly blood tests for the full lot (Glucose, cholesterol, lipids, kidney, liver, bones etc) and all come back within standard. I see the nurse annually. My friend who takes long term steroids and isn't diabetic has an HbA1c thrown in with her other blood tests every 3 months. [/QUOTE]
