[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1516589, member: 17713"] Hi First off. If you are now diabetic you should apply for a medical exemption card, unless you are over retirement age. Best to do this, even if not working... your nurse has the information. Second: If you are in England then your doctors shoukd offer an online service. Tjose that do, in the majority allow you to view your test results online. This is a good way of getting your info quickly and accurately. Ie I'm having bloods taken Weds morn... I will be able to review my blood results at the latest Thurs morn online. I then have to contact Dr and speak to him by phone to see what needs to be done next. I dont need to ask the GP or nurse results. They are there as soon as the GP has reviewed them. This is handy too. If you are diabetic its good to know your results. If males do have to be getting up in night for a pee it is normal to have PSA and hba1c blood tests taken. Also sometimes thyroid as well. [/QUOTE]
