Here's what I'm telling my (new) doctor tomorrow - he took over the old doc's practice, so I'm hoping he's on board with low-carb *sigh*
Tests I would like run with my bloodwork:
HbA1c
Vitamin D level
Serum insulin level
Blood lipid panel (with direct measurement of LDL and VLDL, not calculated)
SMA-24 (including fasting glucose, potassium level, kidney function, liver function, blood lipids, uric acid level)
CBC
Thyroid panel
Ferritin
C-peptide
Rheumatoid factor
Sed rate
Did I list anything redundant? I'm not sure if the blood lipids in the SMA-24 include things that a basic blood lipid panel does not, so I left them both in.
