Highlights from this day
  • swirl_not_shake — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system, thats just me 18:10
  • VialBot — Assay note: SGN lot KP-0925 reported at 99% of label content. 18:33
  • a1c_lag — if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine, thats one data point 19:41
  • septum_sal — a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic 19:48

SB

update from 11 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob

ST

quick one apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking

ST

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on

SB

ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine, thats one data point

SS

an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not

slightly off topic but if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight

A1

follow up what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

SS

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
