[QUOTE="cott97, post: 1500026, member: 70448"] My favourite response to blood tests is abnormal but expected. I work in a GP surgery so understand but as more people go online I can imagine the responses we will get. For me access to my results allows me to start a conversation so I knew from testing my sugars were rising. My Hba1c was repeated and had risen from 48 to 54 - still not dreadful but for me the wrong direction and a sign medication was no longer working so I discussed options and because of family history etc chose to move to insulin. I don't disagree that GPs and nurses can and do get it wrong but unfortunately the educated patient who goes onto forums and takes an interest is still very much a rarity and like most of us it's sometimes easier to go with the majority.
