"Normal," yes, if you read through some other people's bad experiences with their doctor. Assuming this was your primary or GP, he doesn't sound like he's got time to take care of your immediate needs with the seriousness you deserve. The easy answer is for people to tell you to see another doctor, but that depends on your ability to do so.
He definitely should have done an A1C test, so you could at least see if this has been a problem for the past 3 months, and to get an average of how bad it has been. If you have diabetes, you should get Type 1 antibody tests to get a proper diagnosis.
No, it's not "safe" to wait 4 more months. If you have neuropathy, you're already experincing diabetic damage. Further waiting for medication and advice will hurt your body, and may drive you nuts thinking about it.
It's easy to getting a fasting blood sugar test; and fairly inexpensive; and best of all, you can do yourself. No doctor or prescription needed. Get your own glucometer at an easily accessible pharmacy. About $40, will also cover a simple meter and a bunch of test strips. There will be more than one brand of meter there. They have different options -- like downloading of data, etc. And I think most people here have owned more than one meter. It takes just a minute to wash you hands, insert the strip in to the meter, prick your finger, and squeeze out a drop of blood onto the strip. BEEP. Here's your result.
Once you start to do that, you can track your own blood sugar -- fasting, before eating, after eating, middle of the night, whenever you want. If you have a glucose reading over 100 most of the time, then you likely do have a diabetic condition. That will require changes in food choices, eating habits, exercise and, possibly, the addition of some medication to get you down under 100 most of the time. Doing your own glucose monitoring will show you in just a couple of days whether your too high or not.
Step 1 to Recovery: Stop drinking fruit juice & sugary sodas, teas or any other sugar/fructose containing beverage. Water only. And maybe "diet" beverages if you prefer to have some kind of soda or artificial sweetener in your drinks.
As far as getting tests, if you get tired of waiting, and your healthcare/insurance are not being cooperative, you can order your own tests or go to an alternative clinic like in a CVS or Walmart. Some online sites offer discounts on tests for legitimate labs, too, and are available in most US states. (ex. http://www.walkinlab.com/discount-panels/diabetes.html ) The point is, you have a lot of professional resources available to you. And you must be your own health advocate when you feel like your trusted doctor is not correct.
Good luck.
