Highlights from this day
- cricket_or_footy — my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all 10:17
- a1c_lag — apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal.… 10:19
- meniscus_mel — anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post 10:23
- fasting_insulin — ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating 10:34
- fasting_insulin — get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started 11:30

fasting insulin
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
[edited]sorry to jump in baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
probably dehydration
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
is it too early to retest a1c at week 19
