    Need for old driving license to be sent when renewing expired 3yr one?

    DVLA ask for it, but I don't. Waste of a stamp!

    Medical records, online access (NHS)

    'detailed coded record' seems anything but 'detailed' or 'coded'. I suspect incorrect coding. Is it possible to see the SNOMED codes? Would a Subject Access Request show them? I can't find any examples.

    Why ho why!

    Does 'coded' actually mean you can see the code and check it? My partner has seen a copy of a letter sent last week, which ends with 'Employment - 'Dismissed from services'. Date of it suggests it is based on a letter 'discharging' them from a clinic, as in no longer being treated.

    Bad experience with home HbA1c test

    When I did a home test, it came with a much bigger pricker, which let out much more blood. Are sure yours didn't come with one?

    Non-diabetic hyperglycemia is pre-diabetes in England, just a name change.

    Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

    It might sound daft and not meant to seem negative, but it is worth looking at the Appeals procedure.

    Type 2 Fasting blood test

    No, but have been asked to have a fasting test for a fasting problem, which doesn't make sense.

    Glucose tolerance test

    The failure was the start of 7.3 and finish of 8.1. My Hba1c at the time were 26 & 24. I wasn't given any info about preparation for the test, went for a 2 hr walk, also have White coat syndrome.

    Glucose tolerance test

    I've only seen the before and after ranges for the official test, which I failed(for several reasons). But the difference was only 0.8, not seen any mention of differences.

    Type 2 At what point does Insulin become necessary?

    Just the usual food suggestions - Do you keep a food diary? Do all foods give those readings or are some better than others? Have you tried 8 hour eating periods? Or longer fasting? Or smaller portions?

    Medical Record supplier

    My surgery has Patient Access, can also use the NHS app(don't have to use the Covid passport) and MyGP app, doesn't have graphs, but does group results together if you click on one of the group.

    I used this email address to ask for help when my surgery were slow to implement the access. They contacted the surgery and access was eventually given. [email protected]

    Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia -a new category?

    Surgery hasn't actually informed me, found the 'diagnosis' had appeared on my medical record, invited to have a NON-fasting blood test. Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia doesn't make sense to me, other than finding another way for funding.
