What can this test tell me?
Depending on the results of each test, it can be used as an effective way to monitor certain areas allowing the person to assess, and then address, what is of concern.
As an example, if high glucose levels are detected, it can point to potential overtraining, greater risk of chronic fatigue, and even weight gain. Through this you can then take action to remedy the problem immediately, without having to experience the effects of high glucose levels.
