I think people have a right to know their A1C.
This listener and other listeners who are wondering, you know, genetic propensity to diabetes, obesity is an issue, high blood pressure. Are there certain tests that.
You would recommend? You can expect a doctor to order cbc, a comprehensive metabolic panel, which includes a fasting glucose, kidney tests, electrolyte tests, liver panel, a basic thyroid test, and a basic cholesterol count. That's kind of like the bedrock, and everything on top of it is a bit plus or minus the A1C. Plus or minus.
Should we say go ahead and get the A1C. Don?
I'm of the mind that anyone who wants an A1C can get one and should deserve to get one.
