Get a meter: The only way to check is to get yourself a meter and check. If the suspicion for diabetes is high, you will definitely need one anyways. What we usually check in the office is a Hb A1c that will give us an idea about your average blood glucose over the previous 8-10 weeks.

Choose a Doctor: You need a partner in your health if you have health problems. You do not need a walk in doctor. You need a physician you can work with. Choose a competent, compassionate family physician.
