A blood test (often referred to as a 'ble tst' in informal contexts) conducted at a doctor's office is a medical procedure where a small sample of blood is drawn from your body to analyze various health markers. These tests can help diagnose conditions, monitor ongoing health issues, or assess overall health. Common blood tests include:

  • A1C Test: Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.
  • Cholesterol Test: Checks levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates overall health and detects disorders like anemia or infection.

Blood tests are typically quick and involve minimal discomfort. Results are used by healthcare providers to guide treatment plans or further diagnostic steps.
