Highlights from this day
  • 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

get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started

NF

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all

BS

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 a big move

VV

lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
