An awful lot.
I was getting excited about my first Hba1c taken on the 10th see DN on the 18th.

Phone call today all change she is in hospital ring back start of march

Then inspiration the Dr wanted the tests run (also have a cholesterol test to have) all excited think l will get my numbers..

Nope the Dr is ill we only have one in ring back when your bloods have been done.

l want to know what my bloods are it's not fair

l know they didn't say l couldn't but means l wont see the Dr which is fine per se but l want my results and he will glance at the results and that's it unless l am dying, so am hoping l can go down and get them direct from receptionist once they arrive.

Miserable MID
 
I have asked for my blood results even though they have not been "viewed" by the GP or DN I ask the receptionist to read out the results and I write them down and then go and peruse them at my leisure

l may be able to go in and see receptionist face to face but when l rang to get my BP for my diary she wouldn't give them l had to speak on the phone to the DN. I will push the point that as everyone is sick or dying and it isnt my fault (for a change) and it is my blood ...so gimme please
 
We have a right to a free printout of our blood test results - ask for them & expect them - though th erecep may insist on getting them from the Dr.

My Dr has them printed ready for me, & I keep them for reference & tracking how my condition is progressing - or how stable it is.
 
Getting the results is just a part of it. I think MUD would like the opportunity to discuss results with DSN. I know if it were me, I would.

Yes to all replies. l have been really looking forward to the numbers and at the moment the numbers are most important, l am happy enough with things not to need to rush to the Dr or DN l can wait but yes when able want to speak to pref the DN...

I looked at my meter and my average for the last 30 days of random meal tests pre and 2 hr post, some exercise I have an average of 5.5
30 days as I swapped to the new meter l was sent a month ago and on the old one again all my tests there l think average was 5.7 including Xmas. l realise this is just a snapshot as it isn't every meal... but l am crossing fingers over it.
