Hello,

How often do you have check-ups? What doctors do you see - eye doctor, dentist, endocrynologist, etc. ?

Thanks in advance for your answers! ;)

I have a yearly Hba1c, every year retinopathy test, but for t2 that's reduced to once every 2 years. I have diabetes nurse check once every 6 months. I don't think that t2 is treated as serious as t1
