I’m really anxious about my appointment

I had my HBA1C this week and had the results back and it came back as 98. I started taking mirtazapine after my last test. I feel absolutely fine and have never been in hospital because of my diabetes I also have high cholesterol. Will they just change my medication or up my dose or will they tell me I need to go to hospital?

My last doctors never really set goals/ targets or supported me. Told me that my hba1c was absolutely fine but I hadn’t been eating or drinking neither taking my medication due to illness.
