Highlights from this day

  • vacuum_vic — the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable 23:21
  • lean_mass_lex — crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this 23:38
  • ghk_gia — quick one is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic 23:56

is it too early to retest a1c at week 11
