- underfill_uma — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests 14:27
- triple_ag_tom — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 14:37
- verify_or_dont — what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on 15:42
- verify_or_dont — the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable 15:43

*Janoshik not the other one

anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this

my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
probably dehydration
🎉8🧊1🔥10
lab error maybe
my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
thats a big move
not a chat question
fasting insulin
[edited]is it too early to retest a1c at week 21
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
[edited]a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
