i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods, ill dig out the number

what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not

do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough

Assay note: KP lot G-0641 reported at 99.2% of label content.

is crp worth adding to the panel
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable

see somebody

apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic

triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound

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

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

nice a1c
