Im trying to book a diabetes test in south manchester and every single shop on every single date has no availability. Surely the service can't be that popular? Or am i doing something wrong?

Could someone please just check if its doing the same thing in their area or see if Manchester appointments are coming up on their end?

I've tried ringing customer service but theres no option for this and given up after being on hold forever!

Had a look at Manchester and then near where I live and there was nothing to book.
You can buy home tests online, was the service at Boots providing something extra or could you use a home test?

Its cheap, just 20 quid and quick and I didnt know if it was more accurate than hometests?

Other services are around 60 quid plus.

In past years I’ve tried to book appointments with Boots online, particularly following an email in which they’ve invited me to do so. Every time, it lists the nearest appointment as miles away, or says no appointments are available.

I think it’s Boots very poor system nationally.
