Or do I have to see a specialist for these tests?

Can GP authorise dextrose and 24 hour urine test?
I have both these tests done by my GP, I would have thought you could get your GP to run them
Hi They can or they can also authorise these tests to be done at a private hospital. Not very expensive.

Hi Jackie, so my GP lied about not being able to authorise these tests herself?!?!
She probably did not realise she could as unusual. I would ask the nearest Lab to you for a price and a form, so that it is right and then ask GP to sign it.
Jackie
Hi Jackie, when you say the nearest lab, how do I find contact details of relevant labs?
Hi Look up private hospitals, mostly Spire, Nuffield and Priory. phone and ask. Spire probably best, I have used them from GP.
Jackie
Hi Jackie, so they are ones that GP would sign for but I would have to pay for?
It is possible that local regulations and management stop her from doing so. It is unfair on her to assume she lied, and to call her a liar, without clear evidence. (Certainly you can have whatever private thoughts you have. I have no idea of the truth here.)
