Highlights from this day
- egfr_ed — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, n of 1 obviously 20:36
- deamidation — apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably, for what its worth 20:55
- VialBot — Verification log updated: GGPeps — evidence added, status unchanged. 21:21
- deamidation — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 22:35

i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
lab error maybe
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
retest it
[edited]thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
post the numbers
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably, for what its worth
mine did the same
apob if you can
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
thats the 90 day thing
Verification log updated: GGPeps — evidence added, status unchanged.
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
[edited]homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
[edited]get a baseline
