Highlights from this day
- noct.titrate — genuine question my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all, ask me again in a month 22:24
- tablet_tam — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 22:26
- noct.titrate — is crp worth adding to the panel 22:48
- noct.titrate — baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on 23:44
- noct.titrate — my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected 23:45
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
[edited]get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
coming back after 17 months, what changed in your numbers
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
follow up crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
retest it
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
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
see somebody
is crp worth adding to the panel

fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
📈1
not a chat question
too early for a1c
lab error maybe
update from 18 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
[edited]📈2
apob if you can
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely

nice a1c

| Test | Why now |
|---|---|
| Fasting insulin | impossible to get a true baseline afterwards |
| Full lipid panel with apoB | the comparison is the whole point |
| HbA1c | 90-day average, so it lags your start |
| CMP + CBC | cheap, and the reference for everything after |
| Ferritin, B12, TSH | these fall quietly on a low intake |
