blood test

Hi I am so frustrated I have drank plenty of water and I felt good and the phlebotomists only checked me once and told me she can’t try again and to come back again, I hate that she only checked 1 arm and also I told her I drank plenty of water throughout the day. She said “I can feel it” but...

Hi guys! So I got diagnosed as pre-diabetic in February. My HbA1c was 43 after two tests (first one was 48 but apparently it's policy to only diagnose after 2 tests.) Since then I have been Low Carb then Keto and lost about 33kg. I have a blood test coming up and I am SUPER nervous. What if...

Hi all! Been diagnosed for about 2 and a half years now but have been ignoring it. I'm now very worried about it and have previously been worried about seeking help from doctors and struggle to be able to come to terms with my diagnosis. I'm worried about my future and was seeking first step...

What is Thrombocytopenia (means lower blood platelets) and what it has to do with diabetes Type 01? I just made some blood tests and the platelets count is getting lower and lower in my blood, so what is that and how would it affect me? also why is it related to diabetes?

so today I went for my first blood test since being diagnosed 3 months ago . The nurse was lovely she asked how my weight loss has been going which I told her is fantastic, she checked my blood pressure and said the top number was perfect but the bottom number is just a tiny bit high. So I...

So I had my second blood test today to confirm if I have diabetes or not....I mentioned in my first post I was told my number was 8.4, which was my hba1c result I think converted the new way it’s 68mmol/mol....so I am very nervous now they said they should get my results back tomorrow. I have...

So I have my second blood test tomorrow to see if I have diabetes as my doctor thinks I may have it.....however my first blood test was to check something to do with my periods and it was a non fasting blood test...so when the doctor said I need to book in for another one he didn’t say if it...

so I know the number it self is high but I mean the jumper it’s jumped from after a meal....my blood levels have been going down as on Wednesday my fasting no, was 15.6 mmol Thursday: Morning: 12.1 I then did a workout (half an hour) and then I was 15.1, which was just before I had...

hi everyone I’m 23 years old, and I had a blood test 2 weeks ago and my doctor phoned me this week about my result (I was having problems with my period), he said my blood sugar levels were high and he think I may have diabetes, I had a reading of 8.4 mmol..... I have been really worrying...

I've been peeing a lot recently and one of the things my doctor has done has been to get me a blood test and a urine test for diabetes, and these turned out negative. The thing I am worried about is that in the week or two preceding the test (I was on holiday, so I couldn't get it done...

I’m curious to know which home test kit do you use to measure HBA1C and is it accurate?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post an update on my situation. So yesterday I got my results of my blood tests I've had recently. For my hba1c I had in February at my first Endo appointment, the result is 37 mmol/L. I had a 2 hour OGTT in March. The fasting level is 5.1 which the letter says is...

Hi All, I thought i would quickly give my summary to what the libre allows me to do vs the negative comments it receives. I used to do around 8 to 10 blood glucose measurements a day. I count carbs and dose to around 1- 10 insulin carb. I also take Lantus at a night. I take part in alot of...

Last month I had my first appointment at the Endocrinology department and the consultant referred me for an OGTT. The appointment is tomorrow. Just a little background on me, I have always had a phobia of blood tests. I used to refuse them until my health issues got worse and I knew I needed to...

My blood test result's out :) FBG at 08:30 am was 3.5! OMG! Happy to say that other things except cholesterol level and uric acid are high. I am adapting LCHF diet and seeing great result to lower my BGL, but not sure if it affects my cholesterol level? As in Uric Acid, I am not sure what...
