Highlights from this day
- steady_state_sue — thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything 14:48
- tenpence — ok so alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign 15:25
- tenpence — a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry 15:26
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, still working it out
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
slightly off topic but do you get bloods every 5 months or only when something changes
most of the lipid improvement in my panel tracked the weight, not the drug
is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it

post the numbers

genuine question my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about
my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
too early for a1c
an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not
ok so alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign

unrelated but ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
update from 16 months ago: a1c down, apob unchanged, and i am genuinely annoyed about the apob
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
steady_state_sueget fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
mine did the same
quick one is it too early to retest a1c at week 32
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
[edited]a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
not a chat question
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
see somebody
lab error maybe
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
coming back to this apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post
probably dehydration
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
thats a big move
nice a1c

thats the 90 day thing
Recon calculator: 30mg in 3ml = 4mg/ml.
thats normal
*that should say weekly
