this might be useful.
The Scot.Gov runs a website where you can check your DB results on line.
www.mydiabetesmyway.scot.nhs.uk
I had my annual review last thursday and thought I would check online to see if my numbers were in... they were.
To show a couple of the pages.







I see I'm going to have an interesting discussion with my GP on my TotChol results... everything else seems to be hitting the bull.
I was underwhelmed with how my BP was measured, higher than I get at home..

Saves phoning and fighting for data...

I live in deepest darkest Lancashire and can also see all my test results and consultations on line, and not just regarding diabetes.
The last lot of tests I had were on a Tuesday morning. The results were up on line at breakfast time on the Wednesday, with lots of details. Brilliant.
 
@hankjam I've just noticed the eGFR figure of >60. This is what it used to be, but a couple of years ago it changed (at least in England) to >90 so my last result of 88 is highlighted as not in range. (I did ask about this and was informed that it is estimated, and the calculation for estimation includes the person's age, so the older you are the more likely it is not to hit the >90 irrespective of the actual state of things.

I'd be interested to know if it hasn't changed in Scotland.

I too inhabit a bit of Lancashire, but one that ajoins Gtr Manchester & W Yorks.
The system, we use is i-patient but it only shows my consultations, medications & immunisations and steadfastly refusesd to disclose any of my test results!

Ours is Patient Access, but my husband experienced the same as you when he went looking for his test results last week. He contacted the surgery who said it was an oversight on their side. An hour later they were up on the screen. Maybe you should try this?
 
Down here in rural Somerset our surgery has not implemented it yet - hardly surprising as the latsst QDC report marked it as 'inadequate' in everything!
