Q

PREEMPLOYMENT

A

employers usually request a medical assessment of their employees just to make sure their fit for the job. Also to ensure that they don’t have a medical condition that can be hazardous to others in the work environment. I will ask you a few question and then perform a physical exam. and on the basis of what I find I may or may not order some tests. Hopefully everything will be fine.

For how long? Taking Meds? Compliant? Side effects? Check BSL regularly? Under control? Last reading? Last visit to the doctor? What was your last HBA1c?
