Hba1c blood test every once in a while, blood sugar tests if I feel weird or curious. My blood was syrup when I first went in, untreated for years except accidentally trying low carb diets

except accidentally trying low carb diets

Oh, thats quite a accident!

May I suggest getting fasting insulin checked as well? from my reading of the literature, it's the single biggest lever in getting t2d and cardiovascular issues under control or even reversed. the best way to achieve low insulin levels is the low carb diets you accidentally tried before.

That's NHS standard every now and then along with the hba1c as far as I can tell.
