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

OO

my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently

fasting insulin

OO

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this

lab error maybe

LT

update from 20 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob

OO

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year

LT

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable

thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything

LM

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on

i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
