[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1858329, member: 114214"] Thanks everyone. In the past I've just seen the GP for my annual review and she has ordered the various blood tests afterwards which I have seen online but never had the chance to discuss. This year I had a text from the surgery inviting me to make an appointment for a review but no suggestion of blood tests first. So on all your recommendations I will phone and ask before making the appointment. In particular I need to ask for a full fasting cholesterol test. I needed to know to what I was entitled to ask for before getting some bossy receptionist telling me that I can't have it. I feel concerned that the HbA1c will have risen as my efforts at low carbing seem to be getting me nowhere. Too frequently I have a fasting test that shows over 7.0 which I know is bad. [/QUOTE]
