If you have any reason to suspect you have Acromegaly, ask your doctor to give you a IGF-1 test.
He/She will write a requestion and you will go to a clinic or lab and a nurse with take one vial of blood from you and they can do a preliminary test from that.
It's quick, easy and effective.
I should have done it years ago just to get it over with, but I thought it was more difficult than that, because the follow up test involves the sugar drinking and the 4 hours of tests.
If your results come back normal, you don't have to worry...if they are abnormal then you can jump into treatment.
All the best,
Jeff
