[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 568183, member: 107467"] I think I just dived straight in. I still don't have any figures to share as no one at surgery seems to have a clue who is doing what as diabetic nurse retired and they hadn't appointed a new one before she left. Forward planning not strong point there then. Tbh I'm not sure what tests I ought to have had... I would have thought diagnosis required a fasting blood test as well as a HbA1c but all I had was a blood glucose reading taken after I'd eaten three slices toast, sat in waiting room panicking for thirty minutes then had the nurse say that no she couldn't take bloods out of my hand and would have a go on my arm... Four times then she had to call in another nurse and she got it out of my hand first go. Funny that!!! [/QUOTE]
