6. Could any of my medications or supplements affect my results?
   
   
7. When and how will I find out the test results?
   
   
8. What do my test results indicate?
   
   
9. How do these results compare to the results of my home glucose monitoring?
   
   
10. Does my glucose test show the need for other tests or treatments?
    
    
11. May I have a copy of my test results for my records?
