I was looking at tests that are beyond the one's typically needed for TRT. I already get the the typical TRT tests that are recommended by Defy and most doctors.

I do tend to have trouble staying asleep and in keeping my LDL chol low, but I am looking for health wellness in test in general.

Like this Omega 3 test, anyone think it's useful?
  • Omega-3 Index Complete
  • Item Catalog Number: LC100066
The Omega-3 Index Complete test measures the following:
  • Omega-3 Index
  • Trans Fat Index
  • Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratio
  • AA:EPA ratio
  • Full Fatty Acid Profile including:
    • Omega-3s
    • Omega-6s
    • Monounsaturated
    • Saturated
    • Trans
Any sorts of test people suggest, like I am thinking the "Salivary Four-Point Cortisol Test" to be a useful baseline test.

I don't have any more than a normal concern about heart health, but I am curious.
I was curious too, and Curt Moyer over at PeakT used to promote it. The reason is that you can have good LDL-C but bad LDL-P, which results in even more risk than just bad LDL-C.

GlycoMark® is an interesting test that looks more at glucose spikes occurring post-prandial and not showing up in HbA1c.

Though am not going to get this, I assume if I monitor every 30 min or so after a meal I could catch the same sort of spikes.

I would get the test if I had a more serious problem with BG.

===========================================

Intended Use: The GlycoMark® test may be performed monthly on individuals with moderately controlled diabetes and HbA1c of 6-8% to detect glucose excursions, and to monitor efficacy of therapy changes in diabetic individuals with high HbA1c (>8%).

Clinical Significance:

  • The GlycoMark® test helps identify patients with more frequent and extreme hyperglycemic excursions over the previous 2 week time period, despite similar HbA1c levels, and indicates the need for more frequent self-blood glucose monitoring or continuous glucose monitoring.
  • Approximately 40% of individuals with diabetes who are “controlled” for glucose and HbA1c testing have significant post-prandial glucose variablility. In fact, the average blood glucose in an individual with an HbA1c of 7% can range from 123 to 185 mg/dL2.
  • Low levels of 1,5-AG are associated with the presence of diabetes complications. For example, low circulating levels of 1,5-AG are associated with elevated levels of urinary albumin and N-acetylglucosaminidase, both markers of renal damage.
