Hi
I was prediabetic for a few years
Then last november I hit 48mmol (so diabetic)
I was not told by my gp that I was now diabetic.
I, after seeing my hba1c test result, had to phone them and ask......
No appology, just told yes I was
Sent for foot and eye screening....
3 months later (feb 24), after a real change to diet etc I tested at 45mmol/mol...
Good news....
Contacted gp in June to ask why I had not had a further hba1c test (nhs guidance)
and was told I didnt need it as it was well controlled.....
Am I correct that....
1. 1st year after diagnosis nhs recommend 4 hba1c tests
2. After 12 months tests should be every 6 months
3. 1 test after diagnosis is not enough to porrve stability
Or
Is the gp right to act as if I am back to being pre- diabetic
Btw
Just had second appoint ment for eye screenib service (so they seem to be doing it right)
