Unless this is outdated or inaccurate I will follow these guidelines.

Thanks...
When I was on the gels my Dr. had me come in frist thing in the morning after a shower and do the blood test first then when I got home I put on the gel. He did this because when I put the gel on first and did the blood test the gel just under the skin spiked my test. And this was 2 hr's or more after putting it on. A few times I would forget and put the gel on first then do the test and every time it spiked my tests. They came back 2 x 's over the top of the range.
