Highlights from this day
- week_three_wall — is it too early to retest a1c at week 26 homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 17:13
- gall_bladder_gav — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, happy to be corrected 17:17
- gall_bladder_gav — anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error 18:13
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

update from 16 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later

unrelated but crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything, thats just me
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not, happy to be corrected

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
follow up tsh moved slightly, is that a known thing
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
thats a big move
anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error

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, i think

my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
fasting insulin
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
