[QUOTE="PolarBear81, post: 1965917, member: 493510"] That's a full blood count otherwise known as a FBC. That has nothing to do with your a1c. Sometimes the lab can mistakenly request a HbA1c as the dr requesting just a Hb (haemoglobin) if the form was handwritten or sometimes it's just some other form of human error in the lab, usually new staff. It may also be the test is still pending as often 'pending' results don't show up at all until completed. This is from my knowledge of working in a pathology lab for 15 years so I've got some insider knowledge on what happens to your blood and where things can go wrong. If it's been a few says since you've had your other results and the a1c still doesn't appear I'd suggest calling whoever requested the test to chase it up. [/QUOTE]
