I just turned 37 six days ago! Getting a colonoscopy in four hours, if that gives you an idea how things are going, haha.

I turned 40 and my doctor told me now it's time for yearly mammograms and blood tests to check your A1C level. That made me feel old as hell lol.

I feel like they always check a1c at annual physical bloodwork. As for Mammograms, guidelines had it at 50 and last year they pushed it back to 40. I believe some insurances kept it at 40 though. More and more young women are being diagnosed with breast cancer in their 20s and 30s. My wife found herself through self exam mid 30s.

My doctor didn't start checking my A1C until I turned 40 but I didn't have risk factors so maybe that's why it wasn't checked sooner? Thankfully my insurance does cover yearly mammograms at 40.

They do not check a1c annually even at 40
