fingerprick hba1c/lipid profile test?

[Rosie9876]

has anyone got any experience with any companies which offer hba1c alongside lipid profile test via fingerprick method?

I'm pretty bad at getting bloods drawn from veins so hoping for a possible alternative other than going back to the same hospital who lost them just last month to be drawn again from veins. hyperventalate pass out, rinse repeat until they get them imo there must be better alternatives for those which have phobia of the above.

on a side note i've submitted foi request to nhs scotland asking if any of the hospitals can offer those tests via that method will post their reply when get incase its of use to anyone who has simular issues with blood drawing.

In case you are still looking, I just found that Lloyd's Pharmacy does a series of "from home" blood test kits, including A1c and lipids. https://onlinedoctor.lloydspharmacy...MIsJapks79jgMVaZmDBx1oXjy9EAQYAiABEgJfEfD_BwE

fingerprick test result 43mmol. bit higher than libre2plus which estimated at 31mmol (imo its laying down ... compression lows or something which made it be off a little more... )... down from 46mmol 1st may (venus sample taken in hospistal) . When i next manage to get blood samples will do a fingerprick hba1c test the same day to see how they compare will post results...
