Highlights from this day
- pinch_not_stretch — a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic 13:49
- pinch_not_stretch — genuine question do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year 15:16
- lipase_lore — alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later 16:04
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
lab error maybe

ok so fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
[edited]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
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
