Highlights from this day
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing

alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign

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
