New labs

[teedoff]

So I asked our on-site nurse, who pulled labs a few weeks ago for our open enrollment wellness plan, about getting labs pulled again. She asked my why, what was I looking for. I told her I had donated blood as well as lowering my trt dose and wanted to see my test levels and also if my cholesterol and a1c had gone down any.

Her response was basically, there's no scientific evidence that suggests donating blood will lower cholesterol. And said she could check my test levels after a month of my new dose level.

So, I have an appt with my trt guy for labs next Friday 16th.

Donating blood will reduce blood volume, blood pressure, and red blood cell count. Although I understand that there are researchers who believe that donating blood lowers cholesterol also, I have never had that experience -and- I spent about three years in a medically supervised cholesterol study. My cholesterol labs never changed after donating blood but my blood pressure and RBC did change.
