What if i go there myself will they give it then?
I would certainly try. Nothing lost. Be pro-active. These are your results, not theirs.

They tried doing this with me so I went there in person and told them the story and said I was really worried and the anxiety was making me feel ill. The receptionist just said they were borderline and my full blood count was "off" but she couldn't tell me any more...had to wait for the doc but she squeezed me in that day having seen how worried I was. I had tests for other things, not just diabetes, and it was more the other stuff I was worried about.I would certainly try. Nothing lost. Be pro-active. These are your results, not theirs.
Well, that seems unhelpful. To be honest, your GP seems more obstructive than helpful, is there another one in your local area? In the UK, you can search for one on NHS Choices and you can even see reviews. I've had to change recently (like yesterday actually) because mine is closing next week, but I've luckily managed to find one through NHS Choices. When I went in yesterday the staff were really helpful, even though their overall accessibility (open hours for example) doesn't seem as good as my old doc, they seem to be doing their best to squeeze in those with urgent issues. I do feel for them, they can only do so much, but even so, it would have taken 2 minutes to give you your results...doesn't seem effective to offer you a 10 minute slot to discuss that another time, does it?I went to see the doc yesterday had 40c fever and really bad back so took an urgent appointment asked there bout a1c he said this appointment is not related to your diabetes you have to book a seperate one bg all over the place right now unfortunately he said it could be a bug
