baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
do you get bloods every 9 months or only when something changes
coming back to this a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
[edited]thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post
right so ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign
coming back after 25 months, what changed in your numbers

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all

nice a1c
lipase slightly over range with no symptoms, how worried should i be
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

thats normal
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
post the numbers
apob if you can
⚠️1🙏2
what should i get at baseline before i start
right so a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
update from 9 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, thats one data point
probably dehydration

fasting insulin

fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
