[QUOTE="IrishJoe, post: 178013, member: 8710"] Tests: Creatinine and Electrolytes - essentiall the protein in your blood to check if your kidneys work Liver Profile - checks if liver works Thyroid Function - measures Thyroid stimulating hormone and free T3 (I think or T4), as often type 1's autoimmunity decides to eat the thyroid a bit too. Fasting Lipids - I guess this is fat processing but I think it is to do with liver. Not sure on that one Fasting Glucose - see if you've got diabetes FBC - full blood count and HbA1c - measures the amount of sugar 'stuck' to red blood cells giving an approx average of sugars for about last 3 months They are standard and at least they're screening your thyroid. If that's busted it can be horrid. [/QUOTE]
