Posted on Thu, 19 Feb 2015
Question: I've recently was in the hospital for what I though was a XXXXXXX stroke. Let me back track, im 29 yrs old. Anyway, they said no to stroke but hypertension and low potasium levels. This was apparently from a night of hard drinking. Since then(8 days ago) i haven't had a drink or a smoke(i used to smoke a pack a day and drink heavily on the weekends). Now my kidneys are hurting. My question is, they took blood at the hospital several times( i stayed overnight). I think it may be type 2 diabetes. Would the hospital be able to see through the blood test results if I am in fact diabetic?

Brief Answer:
Yes,

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
If you have had blood tests in the hospital, and if you are diabetic, the hospital would be able to see the reports and would have told you the same. Of course yes, they keep blood reports and patient's details confidential.

You may be able to access your blood reports from the hospital.
