Highlights from this day
  • is_this_forever — fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests, someone check my working 15:38
  • is_this_forever — follow up an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 15:39
  • is_this_forever — homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system 15:48
  • brisbane_bac — i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both… 15:57
  • is_this_forever — get fasting insulin at baseline. you cannot go back and get it once you have started, n of 1 obviously 16:02

quick one ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year

homa-ir is fasting glucose times fasting insulin over a constant. the constant differs by unit system

            before   after
A1c          6.4%     5.3%
trigs        2.9      1.1
HDL          0.9      1.3
LDL-C        3.4      3.2
apoB         1.09     1.02
ALT           58       24

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

if your glucose is in mg/dL the divisor is 405. if it is mmol/L it is 22.5, not advice obviously

my potassium came back weird and the retest was normal, whats that about

[edited]

retest it
