Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Was the preceding meal representative of my standard daily habits?
  • Does this align well with my 3-month HbA1c average?
  • Does a brief 15-minute walk after eating help flatten this peak?

Do you have a full blood test report?
