Hi, I've been browsing the boards for a while and I've noticed a lot of people say they wait for a few days for their test results.
At my surgery the DN whips some red stuff out of me, sticks it in a machine and...leeching! Within 5 minutes she tells me my results.
Does this mean my health centre is cutting edge with the latest machines and procedures OR does it mean someone's extracting the other sample stuff and fiddling the results?
I ask because after I'd been testing myself for a while and figured I'd got a bit of a handle on the old diabetes, I stopped testing cos the hba1c numbers seemed to say I was doing ok. Now, if those results are possibly duff, I'm gonna start testing again.
It's review time in a couple of weeks so I think I'll be asking the DN
