Double check your Medical Reports
I picked up our medical reports the other day and was sitting double checking them this morning. making sure all the T's were crossed so to say.
Anyway, because of big waist I had to have extra bloods. No probs there but as I was examining the lab print out I noticed there was no fasting blood glucose value. It would appear the Panel Dr had only asked for a discretionary lipid test and not the Glucose one as well. I checked the paperwork and it definately says got to have the both.
They are all very apologetic at the Surgery but it means I now have to drive back (Its not far...I'm being a drama queen
)and have more blood taken tomorrow morning. I'm not worried about the result, just annoyed.... a bit. Oh and of course I have to fast again and my body is just not built for starving itself
