(magnesium is not always included, I think you have to ask for it separately.) HbA1C is useful and so is fasting INSULIN. (if you get the fasting insulin added, don't exercise before the blood is drawn- as it will increase the levels.) Also if your doctor is agreeable...I'd get a Herpes Simplex and Zoster blood titre. It may show elevations that may pertain to your symptoms. If you were taking acid blocking drugs for a long time to get that GERD better, you might also have a zinc/copper ratio test done...to show if zinc is really low. Zinc can be a problem when stomach acid is low. Good luck, I hope the testing goes well.
