Sure, I feel fine, but let's just double-check that against some normed numbers in the larger population. The results give me and my doctor a little bit of extra info to go on. Assuming nothing major is wrong, I may want to get that BMI down a little and that hemoglobin up a little, but aside from that, I feel generally reassured that I'm on the right path, and those tests go completely out of my mind until the next time I have to take them.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935598217191887893noreply@blogger.com
