I need to get blood work done too. From what I've read, we need to ask for a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel. These tests help screen for a wide variety of problems. The glucose test in particular helps screen for diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes.

* Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT or GTT)
* Calcium

Protein tests

Tests of protein levels in the blood help screen for both kidney and liver disorders.

* Human serum albumin
* Serum total protein (TP)

Electrolytes

Electrolyte levels and the balance among them are tightly regulated by the body. Both individual values and ratios among the values are significant; abnormalities among either can indicate problems such as an electrolyte disturbance, acid-base imbalance, or kidney dysfunction.

* Sodium
* Potassium
* Carbon dioxide (CO2)
* Chloride

Kidney function assessment

* Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
* Creatinine

Liver function assessment

* Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
* Alanine amino transferase (AST or SGPT)
* Aspartate amino transferase (ASP or SGOT)
* Bilirubin

Also ask for a Blood lipid test. This tests blood fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides. I don't know what kind of steroids you plan to cycle, but some are known to have negative effects on cholesterol.

And last but certainly not least, we need to ask for a Testosterone Test. The clinical name is "The FSH Test". It measures the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in your blood.

If that is the case you can always do one of the mail in kits. I'm not sure how well they work but I have seen them advertised before...or find a different doctor.
