[QUOTE="PolarBear81, post: 1920874, member: 493510"] I would question why the phlebotomist is not doing a test which your nurse has asked for. The majority of the time the phlebs are not qualified nurses (unless it's extra over time for a qualified nurse). Even if they happen to be a qualified nurse on that occasion they are not in that job role, they are just there to take blood and so should do it. If I were you I would take it up with the practice manager or your nurse just incase there's something on the system that says you should have it yearly and you were told otherwise. I happen to have the opposite in that the system had 'normal results and no further action needed' without the comment of repeat in a year. It was only by me being on the ball with my care and then arguing with the receptionist, who then spoke to the nurse practitioner, that they then put me back on the 'to monitor yearly' watch list and did my a1c.
