Highlights from this day
  • logrotate — is there any point getting a1c if i am not diabetic 19:28
  • lot_number_lou — slightly off topic but thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything 19:50
  • lean_mass_lex — coming back after 22 months, what changed in your numbers i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise 20:32
  • void_volume — a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic 21:08

my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all, anyway

apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably, still working it out

the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
