I hope your results come back with good numbers Jedi!! From what I have learned here, many get their A1c done every 3 months. What other tests are common for diabetics to have done every three months, and what about yearly? My doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me. I have my first followup in 2 1/5 months to see how my A1c is compared to 3 weeks ago. I am doing everything humanly possible to keep my glucose number in the right range.

Every 3 months should be an A1C. Your Cholestrol and Thyroid should be every 1-2 years.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
