What standard blood tests to get

[chaos77]

New here and I want to get bloodwork done before I put a cycle together. I only took orals before and that was back in the late 70's so what all tests should I ask for?
The cheap bloodwork thread was great but they have a really long list of tests at privitelabs. I had a doctor back then, not now.
Appreciate any help.

Chaos,
look at the hormone panel for males for 170.00 everything that s2h said is covered except the glucose test. What test is the glucose test?

 

[chaos77]

s2h said "Get the new test for blood glucose...the name slips me right now.."
I listed the only glucose test I could find.
Thanks for the help. This saves a ton of $$$ but still expensive

I'm gonna look on my labs when I get home...I can't think of them name of it..it doesn't say glucose in it....hell my doctor didn't know what it was tell i looked it up on my phone..lol...

Get a female panel....will save you tons of money...it covers almost everything....they don't care if your a guy....

Hemoglobin A1C is the test....just says A1C....it gives you a 12 week average of blood glucose levels...much better info then just the day of testing..
