Thanks to Peter Howell for suggesting this case.
A 54 year old male, new to the area. On his initial visit to his new Family
Doctor, the Practice Nurse finds glycosuria ++ and a BM-strip blood glucose
of 10.1 mmol/L. An appointment is made by the Family Doctor for him to
attend the laboratory for a glucose tolerance test in three weeks' time.
The following day, the patient 'phones the laboratory to cancel the glucose
tolerance test; and the day after, brings a two-hour GTT blood sample,
taken by the Practice Nurse, to the laboratory. On this sample, the blood
glucose is 2.5 mmol/L
Comment (maximum two lines if possible) and/or other action directly to me
please ([log in to unmask]), not to the mailbase.
Best wishes
Gordon Challand
