Highlights from this day
- apnoea_down_two — apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell… 20:39
- apnoea_down_two — do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough 21:08
- no_appetite_nia — anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post 21:52
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
thats the 90 day thing

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on, someone check my working
ok so an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, take that with a pinch of salt

homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
lab error maybe

slightly off topic but what should i get at baseline before i start

if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
probably dehydration
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
follow up the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
not a chat question
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post

nice a1c
anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
