To share your Health data with your health care provider, you would use the app supplied by them.
From the iPhone Help pages (and user guide)
Share health and fitness data - iPhone
Share data. Follow the instructions that can come with the app or the device to set it up, then watch for a sharing request where you control whether data is shared by the Health app. For example, your health care provider might provide an app that sends blood pressure updates to your doctor. You need only install the app, then allow the Health app to share blood pressure data when prompted.
A couple of examples are:
Best regards,

Thanks for the suggestion. This still looks like a big limitation of Healthbook to me. The purpose of Health is to bring many metrics gathered by different apps and hardware into one place for a more holistic look at your overall health. This idea is great. Being able to present ALL of that information in a logical fashion to your doctor seems like a necessary piece of the Healthbook puzzle.
Apple? Are you listening?

Funny thing is, that nowadays you can share almost everything. Even the most secure applications have the social media sharing.
BUT. First time I could really use the share-button: no, it does not exist.
Apple Healthbook. I´ve been tracking my blood pressure, and keeping record on Healthbook. Now my doctor would like to see the list. What I need to do is take multiple screen-captures and combine them into one bigger image with all the numbers needed. Yes, this is really handy.

No, they aren't, because this forum is not for giving feedback to Apple. It's a user-to-user technical assistance forum. Had you read the Terms of Use that you agreed to when signing up for this forum, you'd know that.
Go to www.apple.com/feedback if you want to give Apple feedback. And if your doctor doesn't have an app that can interface with the Health data, then that's a limitation of your doctor and his support staff, not Apple. It's not that hard to make such an app, and perhaps your doctor needs to look into that if he/she wants to keep up with the times.

I assume every doctor has e-mail..? Well, maybe not there in India, but here in Finland yes. No need to have "an app that can interface with the Health data".
My doctor asked for an e-mail. All I need is a button that says "e-mail this data". Talking about a simple list of numbers, shouldn´t be too difficult.

Health (not Healthbook, by the way) makes it possible to share data between applications that wouldn't otherwise be able to do so. The original response gives some examples of apps that you can use to share data from Health with your doctor. Have you tried any of them yet?

Nov 3, 2014 5:22 AM in response to vlestatby lizdance40,Many doctors will not use email for any information that is confidential.
WHile it is difficult to hack an Apple device, it is relatively easy and common for email account to get hacked, thus exposing a doctor to potential lawsuits for revealing confidential information.
I think this may be the reason the Apps do not have a share feature.

Nov 3, 2014 5:25 AM in response to Meg St._Clairby lauri2000,I´m not gonna get any new applications for sharing this really simple list.
Well. Maybe start using Notepad instead, and forget the Health-app.

Then give that feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. Perhaps they'll add that feature in a future update.
