Highlights from this day
- rotate_the_site — crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this 23:10
- rotate_the_site — get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, thats just me 23:12
- VialBot — Reminder for pinch_not_stretch: dose day is today. Set 2 days ago. 23:41
- pinch_not_stretch — do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough 23:46

how much does the lipid panel move just from losing weight
for the archive update from 17 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, from memory
post the numbers
rotate_the_siteget fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started,…
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
coming back after 7 months, what changed in your numbers
apob if you can
quick one is crp worth adding to the panel
probably dehydration
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
ok so fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
right so most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
good numbers

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
