[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2360709, member: 480869"] I recently had my hb1ac and only because I asked to see the form did I discover they were intending to do a (non fasting) cholesterol without even telling me as well as the usual liver kidney tests. I asked them to reprint the form as I didn’t consent to the cholesterol without fasting first. The nurse was surprised but did so and was interested in chatting politely about my reasoning. Next time I’ll go fasted as it appears this is a new direction to always do cholesterol and the full panel with hb1ac, even though normally the full work up is only annual and hb1ac on its own I’ve been managing to get quarterly.
