Hi all,

Anyone know how long it takes to get GAD blood test results back? Been 2 weeks now (I know we've had bank holiday).

Just curious.

TIA

Hi @acerimmer It really does depend on your CCG, some can take up to a month, others take a couple of weeks.

Hi there, the first ones they took never materialised and the next lot took 4 weeks. Hope this helps, (I did ask the Consultant who said it would take about 4 weeks so he was spot on).

I had mine done in early December 2018 and they took about 4 weeks to come back

It’s very frustrating though! I’m now currently awaiting the MODY test results and apparently they take 8 weeks lol!
