Highlights from this day
- the_bet_2026 — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry, happy to be corrected 12:35
- apob_over_ldl — anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic 13:43
- apob_over_ldl — 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, for what its worth 13:44
- the_bet_2026 — if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later 13:54
probably dehydration
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all

is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
good numbers
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
thats normal
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, n of 1 obviously
see somebody
