You are checking to make sure your T levels stay consistent - usually more important during the first year just to get your dosage dialed in for your specific body.
There are different ranges that medical professionals use for "normal T levels" by age bracket. Usually it's 400-1100 and I'll tell you right now, at 400-600 you'll feel like a bag of shit. I feel best right around 900-1000. But it's different for everyone I suppose.
They can also check your hematocrit and CBC just to make sure everything looks normal.
I suppose you could say the purpose of getting blood work every once in a while is to just make sure nothing looks out of the norm.
