[quote=Anonymous]OP, you don't have to call it a "sick visit" or a "physical" when you call. Just say "I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. X to discuss my pre-diabetes." Then go from there. In fact, they probably don't want you to spring this on them at your annual physical.

Also, to whoever said you don't ask for a specific medicine...of course you can. When my DH was dealing with chronic migraines he regularly asked his doctor about specific treatment options he had heard about. That's how he ended up with botox. When my son was diagnosed with the same inflammatory issue DH has, we specifically asked about the med DH takes and the doctor said it was a good one to try. When my headaches got bad, I asked my doctor whether I should consider taking the same migraine med my sister took; it made sense to her.

Of course, the doctor has the final say, and may have several reasons about why they don't think a particular med is a good idea. But every single time we've brought up something specific the doctor has either said "Sure, why not?" or had a reason for why a different plan would be better. I wouldn't stay with a doctor who got offended by me wondering about specific treatment options.
