right so if you only get one thing, get a fasting insulin. it is the one that becomes impossible later
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
mine did the same
apob or ldl, which one are you all actually tracking
Reminder for brisbane_bac: dose day is today. Set 7 days ago.
probably dehydration
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
what should i get at baseline before i start
if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5
ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
*PeptideMeter not the other one
i pay privately for fasting insulin because nobody will order it for me otherwise
a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this, not advice obviously
