A member asked:
Will doctors check for diabetes during physicals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: If you had fasting blood work done during your physical, then it is likely you were screened for diabetes with a simple blood sugar. If this is normal, you are less likely to have diabetes. If its high, further testing is needed.
