- homa_ir_hugo — slightly off topic but homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 09:19
- eight_mm — what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here 09:22
- homa_ir_hugo — unrelated but is a fasting insulin worth paying for privately if my gp will not do it 09:28

egfr dropped a few points, dehydration or something real
thats normal

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
get a baseline
is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic
is crp worth adding to the panel

| Test | Why now |
|---|---|
| Fasting insulin | impossible to get a true baseline afterwards |
| Full lipid panel with apoB | the comparison is the whole point |
| HbA1c | 90-day average, so it lags your start |
| CMP + CBC | cheap, and the reference for everything after |
| Ferritin, B12, TSH | these fall quietly on a low intake |
lab error maybe
slightly off topic but baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
[edited]ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
see somebody
update on the earlier thing coming back after 22 months, what changed in your numbers
*Medutest not the other one
get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started
a single weird electrolyte is very often a handling artefact. retest before you worry
