Wow. I think this calls for a serious talk with the Dr. I can't believe a T2 DM on an annual physical would have to specify an A1C with the rest of their bloodwork. We had a DM panel that was done on all our DM patients on their regular checkups that included the A1C. If there is a newer lab test they are using for long term monitoring that should have been made known to you.The staff may have dropped the ball, but the first omission was the Dr.'s.
More and more, I find you have to be a vigorous advocate regarding your medical care.
