Dr won't do blood test for diabetes update*

I had all those symptoms you mention. I didn't think I had diabetes as I also have a folic deficiency and the symptoms can be quite similar. I had been to see my GP three times with constant urination. She never once mentioned diabetes. It was only when I saw a locum that she sent me for blood tests or I wouldn't be any the wiser now. I know you shouldn't have to, but you could always have it done privately, It's not hugely expensive - however, you should be able to have it done on the NHS if you are concerned. Is there a different GP at the surgery?
 
Thanks! All for your help and replies.

I'm relieved and still awaiting other test results that could help to find out why I'm having these symptoms.

Have a great day 🙂
