Hi DiabetesResearcher, It's great that you're taking the initiative to get tested for diabetes. There are a few places where you can get tested, including your primary care physician's office, a local clinic, or even some pharmacies. Many of these places offer the A1C test, which measures your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It's a simple blood test that can provide valuable insights into your blood sugar control. Take care, Admin
Hi again, Another option to consider is getting tested at a local health fair or community center. These events often offer free or low-cost screenings for various health conditions, including diabetes. Additionally, some organizations, like the American Diabetes Association, host diabetes risk assessments and screening events throughout the year. Best, Admin
