How do doctors test for type 2 diabetes?
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and due to my weight of 315 pounds and the fact that I would be considered morbidly obese with a BMI greater than 40, I will most likely be tested for type 2 diabetes. I wouldn't be suprised if I do have it though.
How would I have my sister tested for type 2 diabetes?
She is 18 and she's obese (I calculated her BMI). Diabetes (type 1 & 2) runs in the family and I am worried about her, she refuses to eat right and exercise at all.
What should I do? Call the family doctor or just schedule a test? She would never ask the doctor for a test and I don't know if I should.
I don't usually go to doctor appointments with her. But our family doctor has never talked to her about the dangers of being obese.
