@zmarkv I agree. It adds a little extra weight to the ongoing discussion about whether oncologists should be ordering and reviewing blood tests for things like cholesterol and HbA1C (diabetes) as part of routine monitoring beside the usual tests like PSA, instead of assuming that the primary care physician will take care of anything metabolic-related.

First, thank you for the summaries and conclusions of both articles, I had good intentions to do both but was a bit pressed for time. My medical oncologist is testing PSA, testosterone, as well as CBC and CMP. With ADT and my upcoming RT I need to ask him to just add a lipid panel and HbA1C to the list even though I'm not taking an ARSI. I have zero family history of diabetes, and my CMP two weeks ago was all green, but these ADT drugs cause havoc to our bodies. I totally agree that everything that can be monitored should be followed closely and frequently.
