How often do you get formal bloods done?

I think that it's suggested that bloods are carried out on a 6 monthly bases, as with common to T2 diabetes.. Most diabetics see there consultant on a yearly bases,

I actually at the moment have 3 month appointments with my consultant due to starting the insulin pump, but hopefully after my next visit be extended to every 6 months.. On every visit my consultant give me my blood request forms, so that I can have my bloods taken at my surgery so he recieve the results before I see him...

i have my hba1c done every 6 months and also cholestrol

I'm supposed to be on 6 monthly, but last summer they forgot! :cry:
so it will now be just my annual review, which is due in a few weeks.they do HbA1c, cholesterol and liver and kidney function.

I am not on a specific time scale but tends to turn out about every 3-4 months i get them done usually when i have my yearly appointment and just when i visit the diabetes centre at the local hospital, tend to do this instead of going to my GP i i have far more trust in the nurses as diabetes is there specialist thing and it is more convenient

Every 6 months for me.
