HbA1c Testing Issues
We are working diligently to source the required reagent and hope to have this within the week. You can continue to request HbA1cs, however there will be a delay of up to 6 days before they will be tested. We would be grateful please that no add-on HbA1cs are requested until the week of 29th August, to ensure they can then be processed within the required timeframe. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused with this supply issue.
