Quite a few years ago my doctor said I was borderline diabetic, and that I should go and get my eyes tested.
I was getting a little fun up with lack of information etc, I said quite strongly, am I or am I not diabetic.
He said, ok, I will send you to the hospital then.
A few weeks later at hospital: A fasting test, which in my case was no food or drink after 10 the night before. They took blood then gave me a bottle of lucozade to drink. I had to wait 2 hours, then they took more blood.
Back at gp a couple of weeks later for the results.
Yes you are diabetic, type 2. Take these tablets.
That was as good as I got
I hope your experience is better.
Try not to worry.
The finger prick test took 6min! 8.6%
I will try and tie down the doctor in Friday and get to the bottom of things! I was sent for a liver scan because of deranged liver tests at the hospital, but no-one will tell me anything else relating from that.
My wife has the same problems with our local hospital. The consultant she sees annually now copies her directly as neither the hospital not the GPs systems can be relied upon.Well the nurse said that my GP will have the results of the tests done this morning by Friday which is good, as the tests done in hospital have not been sent to my GP, no-one has any idea where they are, same with my liver scan results.
They didn't tell me I was expected to bring a urine sample (how I was meant to know I have no idea!), so have to go back tomorrow with that.
So going to kick up a fuss on Friday with the GP, how someone can be referred to a consultant and be refused access yet no-one else is provided access to my tests I have no idea!
