[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1860123, member: 114214"] As anticipated: I phoned the surgery to make an appointment for the various blood tests prior to my review and the receptionist said that blood test requests had to be given by a clinician. She could make me an appointment to see a nurse for the request and then another to discuss the results at a review. I told her it was a waste of NHS funds and my time and to forget the whole thing! Is the problem that I am only pre diabetic, not fully T2? The review they always remind me about is for asthma and hypertension neither of which require blood tests although the dr has always ordered them [I]after[/I] the hypertension review [kidney function, electrolytes etc]. They then throw in the HbA1c which comes back as borderline with a note 'See the nurse'. [/QUOTE]
