Due to me missing the vital information of the next test on the posted slip, I ended up having no test for 2 weeks.... well, no official test, anyway!
On reattendance they made me wait, and then were planning on taking a full vial of blood for the test. Still anemic, and now knowing the test to be utterly pointless due to my own testing, I spun them a story of me being scared of it, and would be unable to drive home after! My creative nonsense amazes even me sometimes. The stone-faced nurses immediately melted and became extremely caring! They made a special exception and lined me up to see the specialist and take a finger-prick test instead. Turns out they have the same brand of machine that I use at home, just a bigger version that holds data for multiple patients.
In a moment of letting my guard down, I showed all my results and dosages to the specialist. She was not happy at all, and gave me a thorough telling off. I was to stick to the prescribed doses at all times, and can only test myself to spot check and cannot react to tests at all. After this I decided that all my results will be kept completely secret.
