apob is the better marker and it is harder to get

baseline results in if you can only afford one extra marker, i took fasting insulin and i would take it again, worth checking against your own baseline

one for the apob people isolated lipase with no pain and no other markers is a number, not a diagnosis, not a clinician

my fasting insulin was the marker that moved earliest and most, and nobody would order it for me, different lab this time

apob is a better single number than ldl-c and it is still not on most standard panels, not a clinician

i log the lab, the date, the fasting time and the result, because otherwise the comparison is meaningless, not a clinician

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

i keep a spreadsheet with date, marker, value, unit and lab. it took an hour once and has paid for itself

post the numbers

apob is the one i had to ask for by name and pay for, and it is the one i am most glad i have

comparing two labs and a single out of range value on a twenty marker panel is expected by arithmetic alone, baseline makes it mean something

reporting a boring panel the trend across six panels told me something. no single panel ever did, i would repeat before worrying

do people fast properly for these or just skip breakfast and hope, or should i ask this elsewhere

i had a liver marker come back high, repeated it three weeks later, and it was completely normal, the repeat was normal

research use only material is not approved for human use, and no panel makes it approved, thats the ninety day window

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