- vienna_vial — alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, your mileage will differ 21:48
- vienna_vial — a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry 21:58
- never_for_sale — coming back to this i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about 22:11
- crimp_top — if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later, thats just me 22:31
- never_for_sale — update from 13 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, still working it out 23:33
mine did the same

fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
coming back to this i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
thats the 90 day thing
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
what should i get at baseline before i start
thats a big move
see somebody
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
retest it
