It depends what tests they do to how quick you get the results back as well as what the practice has in terms of blood sample equipment. The thyroid results for instance may need to be sent off and then it depends if there's a backlog at the lab (though I don't think there would be with that as it's a pretty easy test). Some tests for diabetes have to be sent off too; it's not just the simple "what's your blood glucose today?" though that is a quick easy one, it doesn't give all the info whereas others can say 'well over the last 3wks your blood glucose has been well controlled'/ similar which isn't affected by stress and such.
