Blood has certain markers which can be used to gauge your overall level of health. These blood tests can create a baseline which can then be compared against later results. The second set of tests can be taken 1 year later, once your weight has been stable for a few months. If you don't have health insurance or your doctor refuses to order some tests for you, you can always order your own blood tests here: www.directlabs.com www.anylabtestnow.com www.requestatest.com |
