I have had it done by both the GP and the Endo.

Hi My endo has done it several ties as it also requires cortisol at midnight and a blood test at exactly 9 am.

Hi Si.All the private and NHS tests are the same, just that they may do them more readily if private, cost.It is just the blood tests that may be different. There are a few better ones that are sometimes done, if a private patient, all down to costs and limitations of NHS budget.

Best wishes,

Jackie
