[QUOTE="janeecee, post: 400819, member: 45332"] Are you due for an NHS health check? My surgery does the Hba1c test as well as a fasting blood glucose test as part of the NHS health check. Check if your surgery offers this too. I don't recommend going to a pharmacy or shopping centre that offers the NHS health check because they will only do a pinprick test. Failing that, just go ahead and ask your GP for one. It might help if you do your own readings and kept a record which you can take to your GP. Without the option of weight loss etc you really need to focus on getting your diet right. I'm afraid that's all that can be done if you have no more weight to lose and you are already exercising. Some people take the low carb route, but I have found it to be counter productive in my case. (Although it may help you. Everyone is different.) You still need to find out which carbs you can tolerate and which amount to get your numbers under recommended limits and close to normal as possible.
