Highlights from this day
- panel_before_after — slightly off topic but i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about 14:53
- taper_or_not — my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all, thats just me 15:12
- deadspace — baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will… 15:15
- ten_of_ten — the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable 16:05
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
slightly off topic but i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
for the archive crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
update from 19 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine
lab error maybe
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
