I get mine done 2 or 3 times a year. Its easy doing it at Direct Labs They use the same labs as my doctor. 5 mins from my house. There all over the place. You check your results on the computer and it gives you the normal range you should be in. I find it alot easier then going to my doc making a appointment and listening to him.
