[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2516078, member: 25851"] Had an appointment for an HbA1c blood test this morning. Normally this would be done by a diabetic nurse with a fingerprick test. When I got there I found that it was a nurse from the blood testing unit who needed a syringeful of blood. What you want and what you get may well be 2 different things and in my case usually are. It took 2 nurses half an hour to get anything and then they only got about 3 ml and had to leave it at that. I had warned them that I am notoriously mean when it comes to giving blood. Anyway, once again nurses said they would be taking the day off the next time my name came up for testing blood. Came home with quite a few holes punched in my arms which will bruise after having needles waggled around while they tried to find something to give up some blood - all apologetic but really it isn't my fault!
