- two_three_lifts — coming back after 5 months, what changed in your numbers 09:54
- orfor_watch — is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic 11:15
- orfor_watch — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry, i could be wrong 13:13
- tenpence — anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post 13:14
- orfor_watch — my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected 13:18
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
not a chat question

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
apob if you can
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
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 24the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely

thats normal
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
retest it
what should i get at baseline before i start
is crp worth adding to the panel
anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
fasting insulin
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry, i could be wrong

ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

too early for a1c
[edited]if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
get a baseline

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
ok so lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
nice a1c
