What's the one marker you wish you'd added to your first panel

Did my first comprehensive almost a year ago and looking back there's stuff I'd absolutely add if I were doing it again. Mostly because I had no idea some of these markers existed when I first signed up, and the panel I picked covered the obvious stuff but missed a few things that ended up mattering for me later. For me it's fasting insulin. My A1C has been totally normal for years so I never thought to look at insulin separately, but when I finally added it on a follow-up panel it was higher than I expected and explained a lot of the random energy stuff I'd been chalking up to caffeine and bad sleep. Wish I'd had a baseline from a year ago to compare against. Curious what others would go back and add. Trying to put a smarter panel together for my next pull and figured the people here have probably already made the mistakes I'm about to.
