a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry

Highlights from this day
- nhs_pathway_nell — egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real 17:32
- LC_MS_Lena — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5 17:43
- ferrous_ash — ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year 18:03

baseline 58
wk 2 61
wk 4 64
wk 6 67
wk 8 66
wk 10 65 (held dose from wk 7)genuine question the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
too early for a1c
how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight

apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
what should i get at baseline before i start
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
