Highlights from this day
- new_here_nat — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, your mileage will differ 13:18
- new_here_nat — the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable 14:08
- VialBot — Reminder set. I will post here in 8 days. 14:33

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
