Highlights from this day

apnoea_down_two — ok so 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 16:40
first_and_last_four — update on the earlier thing get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started 18:39
hair_month_four — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system, thats just me 18:46
hair_month_four — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 18:51
hair_month_four — unrelated but the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable 19:25

nice a1c

thursday_thea 16:37

do you get bloods every 7 months or only when something changes

apnoea_down_two 16:38

good numbers

ok so 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

apnoea_down_two 16:47

not a chat question

apnoea_down_two 17:15

is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic

for the archive what should i get at baseline before i start

apnoea_down_two 17:25

fasting insulin

is crp worth adding to the panel

first_and_last_four 17:30

anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post

first_and_last_four 17:37

apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably

apnoea_down_two 18:02

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

first_and_last_four 18:04

probably dehydration

first_and_last_four 18:39

update on the earlier thing get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started

[edited]

how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight

an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not

baseline  58
wk 2      61
wk 4      64
wk 6      67
wk 8      66
wk 10     65   (held dose from wk 7)

thats the 90 day thing
