i have read the comments
my gripe is just with the time the taking of the bloods takes
i dont get an apointment, its turn up and take a number then wait to be called
ive been having these tests for many years
its simple, get called in from the waiting area, sit down, sign the form you brought with you
they take the samples
for me takes about 5 minutes
i realise some take longer
but until the last 12 months it was maybe an hour on a bad day
nothings changed, its one woman (not the same one, todays was new to me) taking the samples
i get it done at our local hospital
i dont wait for results, they send them to my GP
i do my sugars twice a day, morning and dinner and write the results in my book
i take the book to my review.
i just cant see why they keep people waiting so long
particularly if its fasting
to me if your not fasting you should be told to come later in the day if its such a slow process
but as i said, until say 12 months ago it was ok
maybe this lady is just a slow as blood taker
