update from 15 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged

do not compare absolutes

post the numbers

paid privately

apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably, my numbers, not a general claim

follow up the private panels that include apob exist, you usually have to build the panel rather than buy one

i take the printout to my gp every time and they have never once been annoyed about it, baseline makes it mean something

fasting insulin

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

nice a1c

three weeks later

can you say more, not reading your bloods

noting the fasting detail a haemolysed sample will produce nonsense potassium and the lab usually says so if you read the notes

baseline first
