most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug

Highlights from this day
too early for a1c
lab error maybe
update from 23 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
not a chat question
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
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, from memory
baseline 58
wk 2 61
wk 4 64
wk 6 67
wk 8 66
wk 10 65 (held dose from wk 7)ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably

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

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
update on the earlier thing ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
thats normal
*that should say weekly
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
