the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
too early for a1c
the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
is it too early to retest a1c at week 6
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
nice a1c
right so is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
probably dehydration
do you get bloods every 9 months or only when something changes
what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, i have it written down somewhere
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
while im here anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
thats a big move
is crp worth adding to the panel
lab error maybe
for the archive apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
Reminder for igf_one_ivy: dose day is today. Set 9 days ago.

i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
