Ya, thanks for the link - I was going to go back and re-read some of my old posts again. Now that it's getting close to the time that I'm actually going to do it I just wanted to make sure I didn't screw anything up like missing the suggestion for an NMR test like you suggested the last time, or any other little things like the fasting insulin test.

The suggestion regarding the vitamin D came up in a different thread - just wanted to make I get all the important stuff. I think I should be OK on the vitamin D since I get plenty of sun and also take a supplement that has it, but I'll get it checked anyway.

Now that I'm in this thing and committed, in for a penny in for a pound as they say...
