8. Does that include lately in terms of your readings?

If your readings are the roughly same, it might be something else.
If they're bouncing around or noticeably different, then the diabetes may be acting up.
Have you been having increased symptoms of high/low blood sugar?

Are you taking anything for it? Metformin? Insulin?

Do you have medical coverage?

As you probably know, blood tests can give the doctor some sense of the history on your blood sugar over the past three months or so.

Other blood tests would be able to cross check other vital readings in the bloodwork to cross check if something else is affecting you.

Chatting it over with the doctor would give them a chance to narrow and probe possibilities.
