I will start by apologizing, because I am sure you get tons of messages from people freaking out everyday, asking if they have diabetes.
I have had a lot of symptoms for a long time ( a few years at least) but always brushed them off as related to something else. Recently, for the past few months, I have been tired. So tired that no matter how much sleep I get- it feels like it takes all of my strength just to even keep my eyes open.
Anyways, my point of my post- I have a doctors appointment monday morning. What can I expect to happen? If he wants me tested to see if I have diabetes, what test will he most likely order? Will it just be blood drawn, or will I need to do a test where I fast and then come in and have a drink and have blood drawn?
I don't have insurance, so I'm trying to minimize having a ton of tests done, and a ton of dr. visits for now.
Thank you
