Clinician/lab checklist

Checklist for clinician, lab or coach

This page helps you discuss missing values in a structured way. It is not a medical order; it prepares a conversation with professionals.

Metabolism

Helps avoid interpreting HbA1c alone and improves glucose/insulin context.

HbA1c
Fasting glucose
Optional: fasting insulin
Optional: HOMA-IR only with professional interpretation

Lipids & cardiovascular context

Helps connect ApoB/LDL, triglycerides, HDL and blood pressure.

ApoB
LDL-C
HDL-C
Triglycerides
Optional: Lp(a), often useful once
Blood pressure: 7-day home average

Inflammation & baseline status

Helps avoid overinterpreting abnormal values without measurement context.

hs-CRP, ideally away from acute illness or hard training
Blood count
Liver markers
Kidney markers including creatinine/eGFR

Micronutrient and context values

Not always necessary, but useful depending on context and goals.

25-OH vitamin D
Ferritin if fatigue, diet, cycle or training load are relevant
Vitamin B12/folate depending on diet and context
TSH only if symptoms, history or professional reason exist

Wearable/daily data to bring

These data help interpret labs in context rather than isolation.

Sleep duration as 7–14-day average
Resting heart rate as weekly average
HRV as weekly average if measured regularly
Daily steps as average
Training: frequency, type, intensity

Missing values

How to get the values that make your report better

You do not need everything at once. Start with values you can find immediately. The most important gaps can then be closed through home measurements, wearable data or a clinician/lab checklist.

1. Directly from your app

Open Apple Health, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit, Whoop or your smartphone app. Use a typical 7-day or 14-day average instead of an outlier day.

Sleep duration: typical average in hours
Resting heart rate: weekly average, not just one day
HRV: only use it if measured regularly with the same app
Steps: daily average
Training: sessions per week and rough intensity

2. Measure at home

Blood pressure is much more useful as a multi-day average. Measure calmly, seated and under similar conditions.

Blood pressure morning and evening for 7 days
Two readings each time, 1–2 minutes apart
Write down systolic, diastolic and pulse
Use the average for the report, not the highest single reading

3. Ask your clinician or lab

Do not ask for everything. Better: “I want to structure metabolism, lipids, inflammation and baseline health context.”

Metabolism: HbA1c, fasting glucose, optional fasting insulin
Lipids: ApoB, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, optional Lp(a)
Inflammation: hs-CRP, most useful away from acute illness
Baseline: blood count, liver markers, kidney markers/eGFR
Micronutrient context: 25-OH vitamin D, optional ferritin/B12 depending on context

Important

This list prepares a conversation; it is not self-diagnosis or treatment advice. Which tests are medically appropriate should be decided with a professional in context.

Please discuss which values are appropriate for your situation with your clinician. LongLifeScan does not replace diagnosis, treatment or medical decision-making.
