All levels in the normal range...

[kellsbells]

I called the doctor's for news on my HbA1c blood test results this morning and the receptionist tells me 'all levels are within the normal range but the Dr would like a repeat liver function test in 3 months'. I didn't know really what to make of this but I've asked for a call back from my DN to discuss what this means. I've managed to lose a little over 30 pounds since 15/04 by low carbing my butt off (literally it would seem!). I know I should just wait for the call back but, any thoughts? What's the normal course of action with results? No one seemed to be in a hurry to contact me and the test was carried out on the 21/05...

Normally things like that I call in and get a print out, receptionists are rubbish at giving results. I would skip the DSN and get a GP call to discuss although it doesnt sound like they are very worried or anything,

Agree, go to Practice.
Get a printout of your results. (Ask receptionist).
Join up as an online patient as nlood tests and tecords etc will be viewable soon....(unless they can give a patient a reason why viewing them would be detrimental to health).
A GP appt isn't actually necessary if your GPs do phone call back appts to discuss results. (Ours do - and will write out scripts if necessary).
