my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
fasting insulin
is it too early to retest a1c at week 20
too early for a1c
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
lab error maybe
apob if you can
update from 20 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
thats the 90 day thing
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
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
