Questions to ask your doctor if you’re diagnosed with prediabetes
If you’re diagnosed with prediabetes, it’s important to ask your GP questions so you can fully understand what it means and what the potential health risks are.
- Your risk factors for type 2 diabetes:
“How close to meeting the threshold for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis am I?”
“Do I have any specific diabetes risk factors I need to be aware of?”
- Follow-up appointments and re-testing:
“How long do I need to wait before I can be retested, and what’s a realistic timeline to reverse prediabetes?”
- How you can reverse your prediabetes diagnosis:
“Based on my specific situation, what are some things I can do to work towards reducing my prediabetes diagnosis?”
If your BMI is 35+, speak to your GP about a a referral to a weight loss solution like Oviva where you’ll get a personalised weight loss plan, your own health coach and access to weight loss injections (if appropriate):
“Am I eligible for a service like Oviva? Can you refer me?”
