Question:
What questions should I ask my doctor to help me improve my blood glucose control?

Answer:
How often, and under what conditions, should I test my blood glucose? What should I do with the results? What patterns should I try to achieve?
What is my A1c level? (HbA1c is the test that measures your average blood glucose level over the previous 2-3 months.)
How can I get my A1c into the normal range?
What effect has diabetes had on my eyes, heart, kidneys, and feet?
Do I have microalbuminuria (the detection of tiny amounts of albumin in urine indicating early kidney disease) as a result of my diabetes?
How should I take care of my feet?
When should I meet with a dietitian to review what I eat?
What exercises are best for me? What adjustments to my food or insulin should I make if I plan to exercise?
What should my family and friends do if my blood sugar drops so low that I need their help?
Are there any diabetes support groups I can attend in my area?
