alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, thats one data point

i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise, not advice obviously

is it too early to retest a1c at week 9

not a chat question

if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5

thats the 90 day thing

ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating

do you get bloods every 4 months or only when something changes

thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything

see somebody

fasting insulin

baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely

is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic

too early for a1c

update on the earlier thing a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry

fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry

what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here

apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking

quick one what should i get at baseline before i start

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable

fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean

Assay note: CPC lot E-2205 reported at 97.4% of label content.

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic

nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
