Thanks for all the input guys. I went back to the surgery and they said it was noted on the form when blood was taken it was for a diabetic review. They called the lab apparently and the answer was 'we have hundreds to do', which doesn't explain to me why the HB1AC number wasn't included in the results, when I got everything else! On the plus side, other numbers were down...but the surgery suggest at this point, it's just easier to go in and have another test done...sigh..... Again, thanks for all the input. i do appreciate all the comments.
