@mrainne Exercising before bloodwork can indeed skew some numbers, with the lactic acid buildup in muscles. Likewise, good hydration before bloodwork is a godsend to those phlebotomists, making the blooddraw easier. My veins are fickle, and making sure I hydrate the night before is critical. [the best vein to get blood is on the arm they cannot use, due to the fistula in place there!]
All we can do is our best, on any given day. And don't beat ourselves up on those days when we think we could have "done better". Having multiple issues to contend with, like you and I have, we have to be forgiving.
