Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Your doctor could save you some money by doing a few panel test and not all seperate like that. My endo test the following: Every 3 months : HGBA!C. 2 times a year : Lipid panel CMP this test has : glucose , bun (urea nitrogen Kidney test) , CO2, creatinine (Kidney test) Ast,Alt ,Bili T, Bili D (all 4 liver test) total protien. albumin . May be another but i can not remember it is late. 1 time a year : Urinemicroalbumin ( kidneys ) 1 time a year : c-peptide (a sub unit of insulin ) 1 time a year : 24 hours urine for creatinine and protien ( kidneys) You could talk to your doctor and ask if they run the panels or how he orders them. It all depends on how he/she wants it. Hope this has helped out a little. Good luck Kim F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have following questions 1) Are above tests and it's frequency OK ? 2) Is there any test advisable other than above. 3) Any other suggestion from Group members ?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I would think it would depend on your individual issues. For example, I had abnormal liver function and am taking an oral med to control diabetes which might cause abnormal liver function. So, my doc runs a full liver fuction test every three months. Some also do a quarterly A1C, but Eunice and others have stated they only get a yearly test.
