A1c

NMR lipid panel to check particle size.
Not all HDL is beneficial, and not all LDL is detrimental.
A regular lipid panel without particle size can be misleading and give you a false sense of security.

cystatin c - very important early marker for kidney health
reverse t3 - useful if using exogenous t4/t3 imo
RBC and maybe iron

I'd also add a basic urinalysis and a creatinine:microalbumin spot urine test. From my nephrologists lips to my ears this is the test he told me has never failed him as far as catching issues before they turn into issues.

The microalbumin/creatine ratio measures the tiny amounts of albumin that the body begins to release into the urine several years before significant kidney damage becomes apparent. Albumin, a protein produced in the liver, is present in high concentrations in the blood, but when the kidneys are functioning properly, virtually no albumin is allowed to leak through into the urine. Creatinine, a byproduct of muscle metabolism, is usually excreted into the urine on a consistent basis. Creatinine's level in the urine is relatively stable. Since the concentration (or dilution) of urine varies throughout the day, this property of creatinine allows the measurement to be used as a corrective factor in random/spot urine samples.
