We have to be careful in how we interpret and act on this information. Key words in the above statement are “appears to be” and “association”. This means that there is not a direct, causal relationship. Further, it also means that it is critically important to consider your results in light of other bits of lab work that your endo and/or primary care doc might order.
Put more simply, it’s more important to look at the whole picture rather than just one part.
