ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
Digest for the week of 2025-09-08 has been published.
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
update from 24 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
nice a1c
baseline 58
wk 2 61
wk 4 64
wk 6 67
wk 8 66
wk 10 65 (held dose from wk 7)thats a big move
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
sorry to jump in homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
lab error maybe
probably dehydration

update on the earlier thing my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
is crp worth adding to the panel
get a baseline
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
update on the earlier thing if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5, we shall see
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about, take that with a pinch of salt
thats the 90 day thing
not a chat question
too early for a1c
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
coming back after 25 months, what changed in your numbers
[edited] 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 24
