P.S. can I trade you my doctor for yours?  |
It's interesting they're going opposite way the American recs are. I did find this, though:
"The OGTT is also an expensive, inconvenient and unpleasant test and very time-consuming for the patient and laboratory. For all these reasons, the NZSSD Working Party, in line with many other countries, has recommended that the use of OGTT in the diagnosis of diabetes be largely abandoned."
My primary care only sees patients 3 days a week, but I'm sure she could squeeze you in.
