- nausea_window — a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing 07:55
- drawup_dee — sorry to jump in update from 10 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, your mileage will differ 08:45

a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
do you get bloods every 4 months or only when something changes
a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on, anyway

ok so an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
