Highlights from this day
- mg_per_ml — is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic 21:36
- hair_month_four — if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later 22:30
- hair_month_four — ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating 22:37
- third_shift — is it too early to retest a1c at week 23 22:51
- surpass_two — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry, from memory 23:26
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it

probably dehydration

do you get bloods every 6 months or only when something changes
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
what should i get at baseline before i start
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely, ymmv

retest it
anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
