And these are clues that things are really going off the rails long before you actually become diabetic.

So really important to start tracking these things, subtle changes over time, and tracking it against you because everybody's different.

So your own reference range, in a sense.

What's your optimal?

What's your baseline?

It may be different than somebody else.

So how do you then approach your own labs?

What should you do?

Well, think about labs as a window into how your body's actually functioning and how you begin to interpret them through a functional lens, how your body's working.

How do you think about this?

First of all, always get a copy of your labs.

Function provides you with a copy.

You can download the full version.

You can see it on the dashboard.

But you really want to...

If you're going to see your doctor, you want to look at your labs.

You also want to compare your results to optimal range, not just normal.

So in all the content for function,

In each biomarker, we show you what is the normal range, the reference range, and then what's the optimal range.

And then it's important to track things at least once or twice a year based on what the issues are or the patterns are.
