As with Blue daffodil, I don't know. However, if your GP is offering it, you could have it and see what the results are. If you aren't happy, get the Genova test done, that's what I did, but then I wasn't offered a urine test anyway.

Hi The best test, 24 hour collection, with cortisone tablet at midnight , then blood test at 9am, Is very reliable, and considered by my endo the only test worth having.,

Best wishes,

Jackie
