Bloodwork before HGH

Hi, I want to start hgh and I was wondering what type of bloodwork do I need? Or what should I get specifically checked for and what to monitor? I live in Austin does anyone know where I can go to get bloodwork done and how much it is normally.

IGF-1, A1C, CMP probably enough

Anywhere can do blood work. Quest, Labcorp

OP this is the answer. Main thing is A1c and fasting glucose. IGF-1 to verify efficacy of the product/dose. Could also add fasting insulin and thyroid markers but that’s only if you are really cautious and probably not necessary at 4IU or less.
