OK, the FBG was redrawn in a tiger-striped-stoppered tube. My PCP
should be calling me this evening to discuss a letter I left in his
office about the investigation and management of my as-of-yet-

If you have a doctor who takes blood for glucose into any tube not
grey - topped and a lab that measures glucose in a tube without
preservative you need to find a new doctor and a new lab.- Hide quoted text -

I told the MA who did it that. It was a SST tube she used; there was a
grey tube right next to it.
