- karl_fischer — what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here 19:41
- amylin_amy — ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year 20:36
- amylin_amy — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 20:49
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
mine did the same
[edited]is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
apob if you can

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
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything, anyway
