Back from the vampire nurse.
I was shocked to find out she was also doing the full diabetic weight, BP, and foot check. Especially as I still haven't found a private podiatrist after the NHS removed a lot of diabetics from the local clinic list this year so imhiding my toes.
And of course I'd not taken a specimen.
Also, during the months of eye issues I'd put on 2kg. I might have tried to lose some of that before the dreaded weigh-in.

I'd been told to book a review after the blood clotting test but the receptionist couldn't find anything about that. I was vague about whether I'd spoken to them on Monday or Tues which didn't help.

BLOOD TEST SHUFFLE: Llanelli patients moved AGAIN as services shift to new £60m Pentre Awel site

The move by Hywel Dda University Health Board marks the latest change for locals, who previously saw blood tests controversially shifted to an “out-of-town industrial park” in Dafen from the Antioch Centre in 2024.

That move drew heavy fire from patients at the time, as the Dafen Mass Vaccination Centre is not served by any public bus routes. The Health Board was even forced to offer limited appointments at Prince Philip Hospital specifically for those who relied on public transport and couldn’t reach the industrial estate.

Now, the service is set to find a permanent home at the £60 million Canolfan Pentre Awel, a modern sports and leisure facility that officially opened its doors in October 2025.

The new location is expected to be a relief for many, as it is marginally better served by public transport and sits much closer to the Antioch Centre where tests were originally held before the Dafen “exile.”

The Health Board claims the shift to Pentre Awel will finally offer the improved accessibility, better transport links, and more convenient parking that patients have been demanding.

Canolfan Pentre Awel already boasts a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy pool, which opened in February 2026, providing therapeutic support for people with various conditions.

The phlebotomy team will initially be based in Block B, sharing space with Research and Innovation services and a range of bookable clinical rooms.

While the Health Board states the move aims to enhance the “patient experience,” for many in Llanelli, it simply means yet another change to navigate for a routine but essential service.

For now, patients are being told to continue booking their blood test appointments at the current Dafen site or Prince Philip Hospital. Appointments can be made online via the existing booking system or by calling the Communications Hub on 0300 303 9642.

The Health Board has confirmed it will release further details regarding the exact opening date at Canolfan Pentre Awel and any changes to appointment arrangements as soon as they are available.

Are Medtronic CGM sensors programmed to die unpredictably early and always when I should be sleeping or am sleeping, and can't put in another till the next day? Usually the evening cause I gotta like work during the day. It's so much fun being forced back to blood tests on a device that is renown for being prone to hypoglycaemic events.

The Dr.

Well, my #bloodtests were pretty good - everything she wanted down, like #cholesterol - were down, BUT my risk signs of #diabetes actually increased a little.

So I’m on new meds - that in some cases cause #diarrhoea! Oh joy.

Also, on my sudden super sensitivity to heat, the cramps in my #calves & the #dizzyspells - she thinks are down to side effects from my #heart meds.

So I’m on new heart meds as well. These too, she said, might cause diarrhoea!

More blood tests in 6 months.
