Blood Tests: Numbers Matter, But Context Matters More

Blood tests show health but high/low marks don't always mean disease. HbA1c: 5.7–6.4% prediabetes, 6.5%+ diabetes. Low Vitamin D = deficiency. B12 affects blood and nerves. TSH alone isn't enough for thyroid. Cholesterol needs HDL, LDL, triglycerides. Don't self-diagnose. Talk to your doctor. Normal results can still miss problems. Context matters.
