What's really a surprise is that I usually wait a couple of days to get the test results. I received an email from my Mayo Clinic Portal at 9:18 AM and the blood test was done at 8:30 AM. My fasting glucose was 104 down from 137 last year. Probably still marginal but I'm a work in progress 🙂

@johnbishop, I was at Mayo in Rochester a couple of weeks ago for a my annual post liver and kidney checkup. Mayo is unbelievably efficient!
Here is my experience for day 1 that started at 6:00AM in the lab for my fasting blood lab that consisted of 17 vials. This was followed by urine samply, EKG, Abdominal ultrasound, Chest x-ray, Dermatology exam, and at a quick cup of coffee and a muffin. Then at 10:45 I had visit with my transplant coordinator and all my results were already posted😊

Congratulations on your progress. Keep up the good work.
