My son is 30 years old. He is not a complainer. He has the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. He has been to a couple different doctors and they can find nothing wrong except a possible pinched nerve. He has another appt on Tuesday. What do we need to do to get a diabetes test on Tuesday? This has been going on for a while
