Hi Sue:

Yeah, I found it a bit strange that a doc would give you a diabetes drug, not order a glucose tolerance test, not talk to you about diabetes, just tell you to go home, watch your diet (the guy is a stringbean), take a pill, and that's that.

When I asked which doctor they've been seeing, she indicated a big medical office (in practice for many years). I was very surprised.

They know absolutely nothing about A1c, believe me.

I guarantee you the next time Alan and I are having a breakfast at Dunkin Donuts, she'll come and drag me over and tell me what's up!!!!

I find it absolutely astounding, that this guy is running around with a possible case of diabetes and the doc never ordered this test.

Thanks for all the good info!!!!!
