Highlights from this day
- monoisotopic — is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it 12:11
- monoisotopic — nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods 12:40
- fasting_insulin — ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year, anyway 13:18
- monoisotopic — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 13:24
- motivation_gone — unrelated but fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests 13:28
