thank you so much! I did get the lab work back and I have yet to hear from my GP but I started the new meds for the high BP already. I looked over the lab work in my chart app and I don't know how to make sense of it all but my a1c blood sugar was a bit hit, so I have to definitely cut out sugary snacks for sure. everything seems to be in normal parameters so I guess that's good but in my mixed state, it doesn't help not knowing these things right away. thanks again for reaching out. I'm going to start a update thread shortly.
