Blood test results

[Mummyto2123]

suffer badly with health anxiety and looking for some reassurance. I attended my GP around 5 weeks ago due to my anxiety being severe she offered me to have bloods done as I hadn't had any for a few years. My results were blood sugar high(hbca1), low folate and slightly high cholesterol. The GP prescribed me folic acid and face me a plan for lowering cholesterol. Also made me an appointment for repeated bloods. I have been calm until this week as my appointment is in two days. I called today and asked what these are for, she said full blood count and glucose. I'm going out my mind again. Why would they want to do another full blood count? I'm so scared that something is seriously wrong

If there had been anything urgent they would have recalled you soon after the initial tests. Probably doing an interim check to to see how you're doing - however the only person who can give you a definitive answer is your GP.

Hba1c is repeated to check for impact of any lifestyle changes or medication on potential diabetic range. What are you defining as high?

The said my sugar was high then when I asked what the blood test was they said hbac1

But what was the number? High as in diabetic range or high in prediabetic range? A retest is simply to check what direction it is headed and whether medication is required. It so quite normal to recheck any anomalies especially if you have been taking medication to address them. Try not to get too hung up about the appointment and ask on the day.

They never told me on the phonecall. I've had to cancel the appointment and can't go for them until I get back from holiday at the beginning of August. I called and spoke to the receptionist and she said it was ok to make it then so I'm hoping that's a good sign to hold them off a few weeks
