Yes they do tell you. Right away. Then comes the whole quot;lets watch it, eat right amp; exercisequot;. Then they medicate it. If you are wondering if yours is high when it is tested, just ask. In fact at twelve, it is time to learn an important lesson. It is YOUR body - not theirs. They are just a mechanic. If you have a problem, concern or question, ASK them. It is why they are paid,
