Hi all,
Q - Is it possible to pay to have a Hba1c test done as and when you (patient) wants to?
If so, where do I go? How much does it cost on average?
Reason for the question is that I am having a battle of wills with my GP regarding whether or not I should continue to be prescribed test strips (and how many - I won't bore you with the details of the conversation - suffice to say is was VERY frustrating). Anyway, I want to verify that my Hba1c IS where I think it is, before I get the GP version done. I want the figures to be so "good" that I can tactfully tell the GP what to do with their NICE recommendations! :shock:
Any ideas guys and girls?
Cheers
