Dear [recipient's name]:

I was with my mother on Monday of this week for an appointment at your office. At that appointment, she received a diagnosis stating that she has diabetes. Before she proceeds with any treatment, I would like to request that you perform additional and more detailed testing in order to confirm this diagnosis. I have verified that my mother's insurance will cover additional tests.

Please call me at 555-1255 so that we can discuss how to proceed. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important issue.
