what did people add to their panel after

good result, a1c lags three months

got results back i printed the baseline and the follow up side by side and the conversation with my GP took four minutes, for what its worth

ugh, repeat before you worry

my baseline was one draw and i wish it had been two, because i have no idea how noisy my own numbers are

retest it

thats a trend not a result

good news baseline is the one thing you cannot get retrospectively. that is the whole argument for it, nobody here is reading your bloods

comparing two labs and a1c is a three month average, so a panel at week six is measuring the month before you started, paid for that one myself

probably dehydration

apob is a better single number than ldl-c and it is still not on most standard panels, a1c is three months behind you

trend beats absolute for almost everything on a panel except the ones where it does not, ask an actual clinician
