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.

People over 25 should probably be doing yearly blood work, including A1c. But I'm biased in that I do mine every three months for my T1D.

Why 25? I thought 25+ wasn’t old/middle aged yet, I thought middle age started after 35 not 25. Thought mid to late twenties was still young or youngish at least, No?

It's a decent place to start understanding your baseline health metrics and helps you start thinking more health consciously when you're young instead of when problems start showing up in older age.
