if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

Highlights from this day
- quiet.hours — i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about 10:48
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot F-1330: 96.8% vs 99%. Within expected range. 10:58
- quiet.hours — triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound 11:20
- ruo_only — slightly off topic but what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not 13:03
- ruo_only — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, thats one data point 13:10
probably dehydration

sorry to jump in fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
Inter-lab diff for lot F-1330: 96.8% vs 99%. Within expected range.
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all, thats one data point
for the archive apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
good numbers
too early for a1c
12:16quiet.hours pinned a message
is it too early to retest a1c at week 16
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
do you get bloods every 6 months or only when something changes
see somebody

post the numbers
update on the earlier thing a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
