Highlights from this day
unrelated but my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
[edited]coming back after 4 months, what changed in your numbers
ok so crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
right so what should i get at baseline before i start

homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound
probably dehydration
too early for a1c
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
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
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it
post the numbers
thats the 90 day thing
retest it
not a chat question
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on, your mileage will differ
lab error maybe
good numbers
how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real

do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started

lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
get a baseline
