Highlights from this day
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, ask me again in a month
triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
good numbers

get a baseline

post the numbers
thats normal

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
*Medutest not the other one
thats a big move

coming back after 18 months, what changed in your numbers
too early for a1c
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
👀7🙏2
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
nice a1c
coming back to this do you get bloods every 9 months or only when something changes
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
probably dehydration
update from 10 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
is it too early to retest a1c at week 4
before after
A1c 6.4% 5.3%
trigs 2.9 1.1
HDL 0.9 1.3
LDL-C 3.4 3.2
apoB 1.09 1.02
ALT 58 24get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
update from 25 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
fasting insulin
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
apob if you can
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
see somebody
quick one fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
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
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry, take that with a pinch of salt
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing

my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
is crp worth adding to the panel
not a chat question, ill dig out the number
