Hi, sorry for the confusion, so my avergae blood sugar should be between four and seven, but mine goes higher than seven, it goes as high as ten! I need ID to get access to my results, but i don't have ID!

I don’t have the app, you don’t have to be on the app to get results. I just phone my surgery for the results a few days after my bloods have been taken. What happens after you’ve given bloods for testing? You should be having a consultation with at least a nurse at your surgery to discuss all your results etc when do they do your foot check and your blood pressure etc?

What happens for me is
Give bloods - call surgery a few days later for results & make appointment to discuss results
If I don’t call the surgery call me to make an appointment to come in & discuss my results at the diabetes clinic
Have a 20 minute appointment where results are discussed - weight & height checked, blood pressure checked and annual foot check which all diabetics should be having

If you’re not getting these you need to be asking why & be a bit more proactive in getting your actual numbers rather than just the general “your results are ok” “its a little bit high” theses phrases mean absolutely nothing and are useless when you are trying to manage a condition as complicated as diabetes, whatever the type

Hi, I've never had to book in to discuss my results. My doctors do the bare minimum. I phone up five days after the blood test and and they say if something is wrong or if something isn't ! Also, they do my blood pressure, foot checks and weight!
