Highlights from this day

nhs_pathway_nell — if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5 13:28
LC_MS_Lena — 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 14:27
underfill_uma — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 17:20

thats a big move

thats normal

fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, anyway

what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound

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

if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5

fasting insulin

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable

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

a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing

get a baseline

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about

too early for a1c
