Understanding blood test results

Lab tests online is a good source of information.

Thanks, Pittcity the way it’s shown is really not clear some of the results have a dialogue box above them which indicates a message but you can’t access it. Mostly they are all pretty similar to previous readings I think I’ll ask the nurse to take a look on their system when I go for my diabetes physical checks next week.

If mine are slightly out of range my GP usually tells me to have another test in a couple of months and not to worry until then as sometimes your blood just has an off day!!!!

Do your results not have the expected healthy range (mine are usually in brackets) on them so that you can compare Tanith?

I found that knowing all the details of my blood tests makes me more anxious, if I notice they are just in or out of range. So I now leave it to the GP to mention it if necessary.

Thanks everyone
