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

Highlights from this day
- void_volume — is it too early to retest a1c at week 22 17:34
- void_volume — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system, from memory 17:59
- void_volume — i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise 18:00
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot SG-1177. Nothing logged either way. 18:03
- power_cut_pia — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 18:21

Purity check: no report on file for lot SG-1177. Nothing logged either way.
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
update from 26 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
*week 20 not week 8
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
lab error maybe
get a baseline
thats the 90 day thing
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
