Advice on where to get blood tests done privately

Hi all,

I hope you can help with my query. I've always had issues with T4 but after a good few years of a boost on dessicated thyroid (Erfa) the weight is piling on again. My private doctor has recommended I get the following tested but I'm struggling to find a company that can test my fasting glucose, insulin levels and the IGF-1.

fasting glucose

Hba1c

Insulin levels

Cortisol

IGF-1

If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful.

Thank you

Tired.

Thank you. I had gone through a lot of private testing companies but sadly I can't travel to London for the IGF 1 so was looking for an alternative if anyone had one. And I'm really stumped with the fasting glucose one and insulin levels too.
