OK. Be aware and careful if taking both acarbose and empagliflozoin (or any SGLT2 inhibitor) as they not only lower the blood glucose spikes, but they also lower the entire curve of blood glucose, so you have to be careful you don’t get hypoglycemic. I use one or the other, rarely do I use both. See details in this post here: [Canagliflozin - Another Top Anti-aging Drug - #64 by MAC](https://www.rapamycin.news/t/canagliflozin-another-top-anti-aging-drug/91/64)

On the issue of blood testing and Levine calculations - I regularly use the life extension blood tests - the CBC and CRP blood tests - for a total cost of around $70 I think - and they provide all I need for the Levine calculations. The lymphocyte % is included in the basic CBC report.
