Highlights from this day
my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
right so a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5, ask me again in a month
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
probably dehydration

an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
good numbers
not a chat question
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
triglycerides halved. is that the weight or the compound
slightly off topic but fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests
coming back after 15 months, what changed in your numbers
⚠️10
is it too early to retest a1c at week 2

get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, we shall see
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system, not advice obviously
update from 11 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob, your mileage will differ
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
