Highlights from this day
  • quiet_head_qi — my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all 11:17
  • endotoxin_ed — a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing 11:23
  • endotoxin_ed — get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, i have it written down somewhere 11:54
  • chaser_chris — quick one the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely 11:55
  • VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot F-1330: 97.4% vs 96.8%. Within expected range. 12:08

i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise

is crp worth adding to the panel

quick one anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error

if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5, not advice obviously

genuine question apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
