Reference ranges in footnotes, previous values on a different sheet.
Below are two invented documents of the kind a visit produces, and next to them what Continuum makes of them. No account, no upload.
Every value and name on this page is invented. None of it describes a real person, and none of it is medical advice.
A lab sheet and a short letter from the practice. Two pages, different formats, no connection at first glance.
Reference ranges in footnotes, previous values on a different sheet.
"Antihypertensive therapy up-titrated. Continue metformin unchanged. Re-present with HbA1c and renal values in three months. Attend sooner if dizziness or leg swelling occurs."
No date in the text, no hint of which value used to be what.
Your long-term blood sugar value (HbA1c) is 7.8 percent. In the spring it was 7.1 percent. The value reflects an average of recent months, not today.
In June your blood pressure medication was increased. The metformin stayed the same. The letter asks for a check in three months and names two complaints that should bring you in sooner: dizziness and swollen legs.
Continuum explains what the documents say. It does not tell you what that means for you, and it changes nothing about your treatment.
Both documents, ordered by date, with the questions that follow from them. To print, or to show on your phone.
Why this visit
Follow-up after blood work: HbA1c has risen since the spring.
