Hospitals in my area have phone numbers on the NHS website. (Main switchboard) Try searching on the hospital name. Or ring your GP.
 
Good morning Emma
Hope you have been able to relax, and maybe start to feel a little bit better.
Did you manage to make contact with the hospital?
 
Hi Emma,
Have you been able to accessyour results online. At many surgeries they are available the next day.
If at any point over the weekend you feel worse please get help. Don’t leave it until Monday.
 
Really sorry to hear what you have been going through @Emma998282

Hopefully you will be able to make contact on Monday, and get your results. You seem to have been given all sorts of responses throughout this which are just plain wrong, and it’s hard to believe why no one has given you a simple fingerstick BG check at any point.

Symptoms of T1 include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, thirst, and needing to go to the toilet. If these are combined with abdominal pains, vomiting, ‘pear drop’ breath or irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath then the situation is becoming critical and immediate action (ambulance / A&E) should be taken.

Really hope you are doing OK and get some answers on Monday.
 
Hey guys!
Im doing okay, still got the same symptoms, the person that rung me Friday wasn’t the hospital in the end, and I don’t have online access so find out tomorrow afternoon the results, will they know for sure if I have diabetes off one test? Thanks for your concern everyone

Thanks for letting us know. Yes they will know whether or not you have diabetes after one test. The Hb1ac blood test they do, gives an average of blood glucose levels over the last 12 or so weeks.
 
Good Morning Emma,
Good to know that you are doing OK, and that you will get your results tomorrow. This will help with finding the best way forward.
Hope you have a good day today.
 
Let us know how you get on this afternoon Emma
They will know whether you have diabetes, and will be able to plan a way forward with you.
 
I hope you are ok.
 
Any news Emma
