02 / MORE THAN A NUMBER
Information.
In context.
Your results are one part of your health story.
The clinic considers relevant blood results alongside your symptoms, history and goals. A result on its own does not decide whether treatment is appropriate.
See the wider picture.
Your assessment gives the clinic context that a blood result alone cannot provide.
Discuss what comes next.
Clinical review helps inform the next conversation. Consultation and treatment are separate from purchasing blood tests.
Panel inclusions vary by collection option. HbA1c is listed in the ACL option only. Review the provider’s current inclusions before purchasing.
