Only you can answer your question. Why do you think you need to see an endo?

You can see an endo to (a) get a confirmation as to whether or not you are pre-diabetic or diabetic given your recent BG numbers, (b) advise you on what to do, (c) give a second opinion and/or (c) hold your hand or give you peace of mind.

You may decide it's too early to see an endo because (a) your BG is in control, (b) your GP is doing fine as your medical doctor, and (c) you read up on your own.

I have T-2 but do not have an endo, as I have a good GP who is doing well as my diabetes doctor. I don't see how an endo will do better.
