[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1057027, member: 196898"] I had something similar happen to me, but the reason they give is also unbelievable. Apparently the Lab that does the HbA1c test checks their records, and if the new test is within 3 months of a previous test, then they bin the blood sample. just like that. In my case i was 2 days early, as I was trying to get a pre-Xmas result unsullied by binging. I did get it done in time, but I had to voice my displeasure first. Apparently they (the lab) are private funded not NHS and work to the terms of their contract which stipulates the 3 month minimum period for HbA1c. I have a different problem in that i cannot get my lipid panel split. Same lab is not funded to do the HDL/LDL Tri-g test so even if i persuade my GP that it is necessary because I am doing LCHF, I will only get the total cholesterol value. NUTS. [/QUOTE]
