Highlights from this day

vienna_vial — is it too early to retest a1c at week 17 20:58
secretagogue_sy — what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here 21:00
vienna_vial — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, not advice obviously 21:02
vienna_vial — my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all 21:27
vienna_vial — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 21:29

my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected

do you get bloods every 6 months or only when something changes

the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this

mine did the same

get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, i could be wrong

while im here tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing

what should i get at baseline before i start

is it too early to retest a1c at week 17

is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
