[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 119167, member: 8110"] For HbA1c, it only matters that you haven't eaten or drunk anything but water for 10 hours. I am the most difficult person to bleed that there is. So I go to the West Berkshire Community Hospital 10 miles away, where the phlebotomists are very kind to me. This time it took 2 of them 3 attempts, which is an improvement on 3 of them and 5 attempts last time. I then go for a breakfast at their lovely cafe. I prefer to go early, because I hate sitting waiting and the queues start to build about mid morning. They ask that only patients for fasting tests go early, so I get seen quickly. It take about half an hour to get my blood anyway. Hana [/QUOTE]
