Highlights from this day
- VialBot — New independent result logged — CPC, lot G-0641, purity 98.6% (Janoshik). 22:11
- step_one_sian — crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, still working it out 22:16
- step_one_sian — most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug 22:17
- egfr_ed — tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing 22:41
- egfr_ed — lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be 22:51
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
mine did the same
nice a1c

unrelated but i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
thats normal
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
fasting insulin
slightly off topic but apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
thats the 90 day thing

do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough

egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way.
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
too early for a1c
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing

see somebody
good numbers
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
thats a big move
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
lab error maybe

is it too early to retest a1c at week 21
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
update from 14 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
post the numbers

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
