Test results...

Had my diabetes check-up on Friday with the attendant blood test. Noticed this afternoon that the test results had been uploaded to the NHS app.
Yet again they seem to have picked a random selection of results ie. Cholesterol & Liver function etc to upload but not the Hba1c. Looking at my previous results they did the Hba1c but not Cholesterol.
What am I missing?

Bit of a pain and waste of there and my time to call the surgery to find out..... grrrrrr

A bit of patience.

It’s a bank holiday Monday, it’s not even been one working day since you had your tests so it’s not surprising that they haven’t yet finished processing them and approving the results to be shown on the nhs app. There’s no need at all for you to waste anyone’s time by calling, give it a week or two for them to be processed and approved first.
 
My HbA1c took a couple of days to come back and appear on the app (all of the other test results were there) - your GP has to see it and verify the information before the result is uploaded - it should be on there by the end of the week is my guess, given the bank holiday weekend
 
When I have my bloods done, the nurse takes 2-3 different test tubes full, because each tube has to have a different process/preparation for testing. Some need spinning in a centrifuge, and it depends on how many other test tubes they have from other patients. Then, they go to different parts of the hospital lab, and workloads may differ, resulting in results coming back at different times. Then they have to be checked by a GP at the surgery before they’re put up on line for me to see, and depending on when they come back, they may miss the slot that the GP had allocated for checking results that day.
Test results used to take a week, minimum to come back when I was first diagnosed, the fact that they are sometimes back and up on my NHS App within a couple of days now never ceases to amaze me.

The point I wanted to make was that from what I've seen whatever is uploaded first is all that's uploaded.
My HbA1c was uploaded last time but wasn't the time previous to that and never has been. I only found out because I spoke to the surgery. What's uploaded seems to be completely random. I got Triglycerides this time but not last time.

Apologies the blood test was Thursday not Friday but still to get any results over a bank holiday weekend is impressive.
 
I had Bloods done on Wednesday and the results appeared over a couple of days. At the beginning of the year my HBA1C took nearly a week, everything else appeared within a couple of days. Different blood samples go to different departments within the Laboratory.
