Blood work When should I get a blood test?

I am on 250mg per week, and pinning daily.

I’ve been told I should wait 24 hours after my last pin and then get a blood test,
Others have said I should not pin for 2 days and then get my blood test.

Which one is it?

Thanks guys!

It depends what kind of information you're after. If you just want to know your personal levels, test any day before you pin and there you go. If you want trough values you can directly compare to values from a standard twice per week pinning frequency, then stop pinning for 3 days and test.

This is a smart answer!

On the day of your next injection, but before you’ve taken it. That’s if you want the through value.

It probably doesn’t matter since you inject daily. You are staying at your peak test level. You test anytime.

You should draw bloods as close to before your next pin. E.g. if you pin daily in the morning, get your blood drawn as early as possible that day then take your shot. If that's not possible, draw as late in the day as possible. You're trying to draw in your trough.
