Highlights from this day
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
update from 16 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
is it too early to retest a1c at week 4
[edited]do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
mine did the same

see somebody
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, ymmv
probably dehydration
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean

get a baseline
post the numbers
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
not a chat question

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